Err.. he said that the problem was "lift-off" oversteer which I assume is trailing throttle overseteer. So the oversteer is caused by not keeping the foot on the throttle.

What type, and size of tires are you running?

I hope you arn't attempting to put down that extra 100-150 or-so hp through the stock size tires.

don't under estimate LSD when talkin about Lift oversteer, if it snaps rather than tighten the line, then you have too much locking differential under decelration. if your car was imported from japan as a used form, there's a good chance that your LSD isn't OEM, first thing japanese drfiters change in their car is LSD.

Most suspension mods would bias under or over at steady pace, with wieght transfer. If it's lift snap oversteer. most likely LSD. Think of too much lock when lift as, pulling hand break.

Or you can learn to live with it, break into apex, if overspeed into so line is wide, Lift as you say will make snap oversteer - anticipate, throttle and counter accordingly. not the fastest way out, but could work well in some types of turns. most of all it's fun.

if it's a track car, rather over than under.
