After you've got the LSD installed, take it for a good hard run to see what you think of its behaviour under power. You'll (hopefully) be amazed at the transformation when the rears start to spin a little, and the diff hooks up.
If you're comfortable with the LSD, and sure it ain't enough, I'd start with an adjustable pair of rear shocks, adjustable for both bump and rebound if you can find/afford them. These will let you play around with how quickly/violently it wants to break out, but should leave it quite controllable once it's out there. The big plus with going adjustable, is that you can just twirl a few dials to make it grip-tastic for the drive home!! 
If THAT doesn't do it for you, get a spare pair of rear rims, and fit the hardest, cheapest tyres you can find. I can recommend going narrow tyres on wide rims from experience: They'll break traction early, but super-super-progressively. Fat tyres on narrow(ish) rims grip, roll, flex, then BANG!! Nothing - they let go bigtime with no warning. 
Hope that helps bruz
Oh: I'd regard a stiffer sway-bar as a last resort to reduce rear grip if your motor can't keep the rears spinning hard enough to keep the tail out. I don't think Whitleline charge too much for their adjustable range of bars, once again to allow a driveable car going home from da drift sessionz.
