JDM Evo front differential

Hi all,
I have been researching front differentials for the US Evo. It appears that the JDM VII without ACD/AYC came with a helical type front LSD. Is this a Mitsubishi product? Will it fit the US car? Also read that this diff had a problem with shearing bolts, but if the bolts were replaced with a higher grade, the diff was fine. I want a torsen type front diff, so this looks interesting. Anybody know more about this?
Cheers,

Helical LSD is essentially a modded Torsen LSD. They first appeared in Integra Type R's. It's a high quality LSD.

How aggressive do you really want the front dif to be on a track car? Strip cars aside that is...

Thanks bluesaint,
Zeus-Torsen type diff makes sense to me in this car as the only wheel I manage to lift on track is the inside rear. But when the Evo's three-pedaling, it is going fast.
