If we're talking about normal street use (not track driving), why not optimise rear live axle suspension pick-up points?
Suspension engineering books are full of useful info. One book out there will explain why right rear wheel is the one lacking traction and spinning, and what to do about it.

According to books it's an absolute fact that two black rubbery smoking marks from hard acceleration can be had without LSD, if the axle suspension has been reworked. They do however state that to work well at drag racing but axle hopping/studder can be possible under very hard braking. That's why not recommended for track racing.

Same rool applies there anyhow. If you bolt on an LSD to live rear axle car that used to have severe right rear spinning - the situation will not be perfect with LSD installed. The right rear wheel still has less grip than left wheel.

It's far better to have weight close to 50/50 rather than 10/90 even if you have LSD installed.
