I don't think that would be the next step I would take as the LSD
doesn't really help you counter the oversteer. You are just able to give
it a little more go round the corner, but I suppose youd rather prefer
to stay on the road. DO you have a rear anti-roll bar? You may want to
look at fatter tyres.
Mind you, I severly damaged my 7 when I was unable to catch the rear
end.
