Remove the adjustable LSD
Ride height (Lower front/higher rear), Sping rate (Soft front hard rear)
(class starts soon, just reverse the order...)

Whaaaaaaaaaaa?
All of the above is wrong. Very wrong.
Build the car to be well-balanced then either add power or reduce grip. LSD tuning is a good way to change how the car acts to throttle modulation so removing it is plain stupid (save for vehicles that have "smart" differentials already).

Yeah but the LSD also causes understeer (reasoning behind my "remove it")
also depending on the drivetrain i'd look into chamber/toe angle
Hell, maybe you could even purposefully overdo settings like springs/car height so that it looses more traction with the road o.O

Dude. No.
Install adjustable LSD. Set it higher for more oversteer, lower for less. With no LSD you would get one tire fire, understeer, and limited acceleration. Hence budget drifters weld their diffs. The default setting when you purchase adjustable LSD in game is really low.

You better be trolling...
Anyways if your still learning how to get sideways in the 1st place, I recommend learning how to without a tune, it is very possible, all I have done to my primary drifter is lower it and camber for visual effect but ya, a tune wont make a drifter it will help refine it but I feel its best to learn without tuning. (and frankly its a very realistic way of getting sideways since its how alot of amateurs run.)
Just found today. You can do drift trial on snow courses. Limited grip means suspension is less of a factor. Remember look far in front of you down the track. Steering will be more instinctive then. Following this tip helped me hugely. I find it helps to drive in any view other than the behind cam, as it makes me look at my car rather than where I want to be going. If you find yourself over steering too much on a particular corner try shifting up a gear. It will reduce torque and make feathering the throttle more manageable. Having closer gear ratios lets you fine tune this more than stock trans. Good luck.
My usual setup involves a low car but with the front just a slight lower, toughen the springs/dampers up a little and sway bars. comfort medium in the front and comfort hard in the rear ( i like weak tires that are easy to spin, just my preference though). Only tune ups are exhaust, intake, ecu, and weight reduction, and susp of course. Just experient with different FR cars and practice getting the lines right where you can just hug the inside turn. I also tend to use manual and just red line it in that gear until i come out of the turn.
