Seriously: Don't even think about setup until you've driven/drifted a lot of hard laps somewhere with the LSD installed. They really do change the way a car reacts to the throttle that much.
After you've developed a solid feel for it with the new axle, I stand by what I said before:
| st184 Sillycar sez: |
Given the lack of capital, I still say firm adjustable shox are the first port of call - gotta stop the squatting and body-roll long enough to break traction. Any suspension mods after that, and you can always adjust the shox to suit. Same goes for the Whiteline adjustable sway bar(s).

You'll have an idea of what it needs after some hard punting: If it breaks free really easily, but just grips up once the rear's settled down, then you need stiffer rear springs and/or sway bar. If it's really hard to break-loose initially, then firmer rear shox will help cure that.
Like I think I said before - before you spend money on suspension, get a pair/set of drift tyres+rims. Hard, narrow tyres on wide rims is something you've gotta try to appreciate: they make almost any car driftastic!
