Engineered to optimize traction and power transfer, this differential features adjustable settings that can be modified with a simple overhaul, allowing drivers to customize their driving experience. The Type RS springs provide smooth initial torque engagement, resulting in more efficient power delivery to the wheels. Compared to the Type MZ, the Type RS offers a gentler initial torque response and lower friction, which enhances responsiveness and reduces power loss. These characteristics contribute to improved handling, lower lap times, and better overall performance, especially on the track or spirited driving scenarios.

Designed for the front axle of Mazda Mazdaspeed Axela models, the Cusco LSD is suitable for vehicles with a chassis code BK3P. It is ideal for track use, racing, or performance-oriented street driving, providing increased grip and stability during aggressive cornering. The LSD is a bolt-on upgrade that replaces the stock differential, offering a straightforward installation process. The unit allows for customizable settings to suit different driving styles and conditions, making it a versatile choice for enthusiasts seeking enhanced traction and control. This product is compatible with the specified model years and is intended for drivers aiming to maximize their vehicle’s handling capabilities.

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.
