The Cusco LSD Type-RS 2-Way Front is a high-performance limited slip differential designed for Toyota Celica models ST202 and ST203, as well as the MR2 SW20. Engineered to enhance traction and handling, this LSD features a spring mechanism that absorbs initial torque, providing a smoother engagement compared to the Type MZ. Its low initial torque reduces power loss, resulting in more efficient power transfer to the wheels. The design allows for two of three settings through a simple overhaul, giving drivers flexibility to optimize their vehicle’s performance. Constructed with precision components, the Type-RS offers lower friction and improved response, making it ideal for both street and track use. Its robust build ensures durability under demanding driving conditions, helping to achieve lower lap times and better cornering grip.

This front differential is compatible with Toyota Celica models from 1990 to 1999 (ST202, ST203) and the MR2 SW20, fitting vehicles equipped with the LSD 154 F2 unit. It is intended for performance-oriented applications, including racing, spirited driving, and track days, where enhanced traction is critical. The LSD is a bolt-on upgrade that replaces the factory differential, providing a direct fit for the specified models. Installation typically involves standard mechanical procedures, and the kit includes the necessary components for a straightforward upgrade. Suitable for both street and track environments, this Cusco LSD improves drivetrain response and stability, making it a valuable upgrade for enthusiasts seeking superior handling and reduced lap times.

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.
