The Cusco Limited Slip Differential Type-RS 1.5 Way Front for Mini Cooper S (MF16S/RE16) is a high-performance LSD designed to enhance traction and handling. Engineered with adjustable settings, it allows users to select two of three configurations through a simple overhaul, providing customizable performance. The Type RS features springs that absorb initial torque, resulting in a gentler engagement compared to the Type MZ. Its low-friction design ensures efficient power transfer to the wheels, reducing power loss and improving lap times, especially beneficial for mildly tuned vehicles seeking improved cornering and acceleration.
This limited slip differential is specifically designed for Mini Cooper S models from 2011 to 2025, with chassis codes MF16S and RE16. It is a direct replacement for the factory differential, suitable for street and track use where enhanced traction is desired. Installation involves replacing the existing unit with the Cusco LSD, which includes the necessary components for a straightforward upgrade. Ideal for performance enthusiasts and racers, this LSD provides improved grip, reduced wheel spin, and optimized power distribution for spirited driving and competitive applications.

Overview
Overview
A Cusco Limited Slip Differential offers the absolute best in traction. Cusco LSD allow you to choose 2 of 3 settings with each unit just with a simple overhaul. The Type RS springs absorb the initial torque. Compared to the Type MZ, the Type RS s initial torque comes on more gently. The response of the RS has lower friction and in turn, is transfers power to the ground more efficiently. The Low Initial Torque means Less Power Loss. This equates to lower lap times, even for a mildly tuned vehicle. The low pressure on the clutch plates improves durability and lowers chatter. To top it off, the reduced pressure allows the driver to change the LSD oil less frequently. Steady coil movement is assured by special precision springs set in the pressure plate. These springs are made to be resilient and allow for stable operation. Because these plates do not utilize a cone clutch, they do not stick and allow for increased longevity. The Type RS transfers extreme power without slipping and responds quickly with pedal inputs. This differential is ideal for drag racing or going for drifting. Contact Us with any questions..
Cusco recommends the following setups for the following drivetrains.
- 1 way LSD: Specially suited for front wheel drive cars and AWD front axle cars.Activates under acceleration, and acts as a true LSD when the throttle is off.
- 1.5 way LSD: Activates under acceleration with less under-steer under deceleration than on a 2 way LSD. Recommended for those who want to reduce under-steer.
- 2 way LSD: Recommended on rear wheel drive cars and AWD rear axle cars. Activates on both acceleration and deceleration. Recommended for those who prefer aggressive driving and big angle drifting.
