    being live axel makes it a little more tricky to reinforce, but lowering and stiffening will go a long way to help out, what kind of surface are you looking to get sideways on? dirt, track? an LSD will help the car flick out because that'd be where the most stress would come from, the initial phase of overpowering your tires.

    I'd be on a closed tarmac circuit.

    coil overs on the rear possibly??? if you want to keep it kinda stock or on a budget then maybe some custom made springs that have a really thick diameter rod to keep it feeling firm. as said before... LSD or spool, manual, andmaybe something to beef up the power a bit
