LFB help.
Ive been trying do some LFB in the R but I can't seem to get it done right. The rear never really locks up and the front just starts pulsating in power(because of LSD?) Anyways, I just end up in massive understeer. I was thinking about getting a mugen rear sway bar, but I know this technique can be done with the proper touch. I am determined to upgrade the driver before the car.
Any tips or suggestions?

sorry about that, in order to prevent any argument, in my book, left foot braking is a technique that involves using the left to brake during a turn to induce oversteer.
some might say say left foot braking is simply braking with the left foot. Let's not get it confused.

Practice, practice, practice. LFB can feel VERY foreign the first few times you do it, so stick with it until you don't feel so clumsy. From what you're describing, it sounds like you're using the technique at the right time (to help the car rotate at turn-in), but it also sounds like you're using too much brake. If you're understeering at turn-in with your foot on the brake, you're likely asking for too much from your tires at one time (they can brake, turn, or accelerate, but any combo therein requires a balance).
First practice normal braking with your left foot in a straight line, and work toward threshold braking in a straight line. Pay careful attention to being smooth, and keep a constant pressure on the brake (or a constantly increasing pressure for threshold braking). Next work on trail braking with your left foot to develop the proper "feel" with you left foot. You can work that up to a balancing act between your left foot on the brake and your right foot on the gas, which is the ultimate goal (while turning). Keep in mind that you will heat your brakes up faster.
