Ok about the LSD.... first of all i have no idea what the bottom two settings are for so i dont touch them... BUT THE INTITIAL TORQUE (the top setting) is supposed to keep both wheels spinning at the same rate...WITHOUT A STRONG LSD, tires will spin at different rates, making the car easier to turn under normal driving. ex: if a car without an LSD had one wheel in the air; that wheel would spin twice as fast as the one contacting the floor...
WHEN you are drifting or normal driving (in FR car) there are two forces moving the car; the left and right wheel... your goal is to get the same amount of force from both wheels, this will make the car slightly harder to turn but your drifts will be more controlled under accleration.... WELL THANKS FOR LISTENING to my speech. lol
oh the higher the intial torque the more likely for the tires to spin at the same rate... I SET MINE TO 60..
NOW you wanted to make the most use of your cars torque and tires correct? THEN I WOULD GO WITH A HIGH SETTING at leat 40-60. CHECK JAPANESE DRIFT SITES the will all emphasize the that an LSD, good brakes, stiff suspension, bucket seats and harnesses, are essential to a drifter.
SORRY FOR THE LONG SPEECH but i figured id tell you what it was instead of just telling you to turn it up... I would rather you tuned the car to your liking not mine, so now you now what it does....
IF YOU EVER FIND OUT WHAT THE BOTTOM TWO SETTINGS DO please make a thread and enlighten me cause im stumped.

In RWD cars, if you set all to 5 the car drifts and you can control it. (If the car spins out rise initial and accel a little).
If you rise initial and accel to the max, it'll be hard to lose grip and control the drift will be impossible.
Decel is for entering the corners. (If you rise it the car is more estable).
In my GT3 version when I'm modifying LSD appears a explanation of the thing I am changing. I don't know if yours do the same.

Yeah, the higher level on the decel will make the car more stable under braking; I usually keep it at about 15 so the car will over steer more when I enter a corner. I tested the 2 top ones together at the max and the min. What I found was, on the max the drift was harder to control at higher angles but it would push the car forward more, and I could press the gas more, but if I drifted at too much of an angle then it would be very difficult to control so my drift angles were definitely less pronounced. At the min the drift angles were huge but the car would not go forward it didnt really feel like drifting It was more like sliding sideways I really could not put much power down cus it would just continued rotate. It was easier to control at higher angles, but it was very, very slow. I usually have the LSD settings at (20) (30) (15) for exhibition drifting and if I want to go a bit faster (30) (40) (15).
YESTERDAY, i hopped in my SUPRA RZ and VIPER and turned the LSD to the max... I found it to be much bettter for my style of driving.... it made the car much more stable entering corners thru drifts and it even increased the angles i could make (angle of my car in relation to the road)... It workerd for me but everybody may not like such a stable car... but your right about it pushing the car further when its to the max... I WAS ABLE TO DO WHAT I THINK IS THE LONGEST DRIFT EVER.... hopefully i can put it on vid b4 someone beats me to it...
PEACE.
PEACE.
