An aftermarket clutch-type LSD is ideal for drifting specifically 2 way because it will always be locked, initiating drifts are smoother, more controllable and easier to initiate. The downside is you must be very careful when driving in rain or slick conditions, also there is noise associated with aftermarket lsds.
So is it cool to just run the stock LSD to the ground and replace it with an aftermarket once it's done for? Sounds like it's not going to last more than a season or two by the way you describe it.

Your main needs at the beginning probably, after that you will start tearing things up and can just replace the OEM parts with upgraded pieces.
What OEM parts am I expecting to tear up besides tires?
