The Cusco Limited Slip Differential Type-RS 1-Way Front is a high-performance LSD designed for front-wheel-drive Honda Fit models, including GD3, GK5, and GE8 with 5 or 6-speed manual transmissions. Engineered to improve traction and handling, this differential features adjustable settings that can be customized through a simple overhaul, allowing drivers to optimize performance for different driving conditions. The Type RS model utilizes springs that absorb initial torque, providing a smoother engagement compared to the Type MZ. Its low-friction design ensures efficient power transfer to the wheels, reducing power loss and enhancing acceleration. This LSD is built with precision components to deliver consistent, reliable performance, making it an ideal upgrade for enthusiasts seeking improved lap times and cornering grip.

Designed specifically for the front axle of 2004–2008 Honda Fit models, this limited slip differential is suitable for street and track use. It is a direct replacement for the stock differential, offering enhanced traction and handling without extensive modifications. The unit is intended for vehicles equipped with a 5 or 6-speed manual transmission and is compatible with the GD3, GK5, and GE8 chassis codes. Installation involves replacing the existing differential with the Cusco Type RS unit, providing a straightforward upgrade for drivers aiming to maximize grip and stability during spirited driving or competitive events. The kit includes the LSD unit and necessary mounting components, ensuring a comprehensive upgrade for performance-oriented Honda Fit owners.

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.
