Engineered to enhance traction and power transfer, this differential features adjustable settings that allow users to select two of three configurations through a simple overhaul. The Type RS utilizes springs to absorb initial torque, providing a smoother engagement compared to the Type MZ. Its low-friction design ensures more efficient power transfer to the wheels, reducing power loss and improving overall handling. This LSD is ideal for enthusiasts seeking improved lap times and better control on both street and track environments, especially in mildly tuned vehicles.

Compatible with Mazda RX-7 FC3S models, the Cusco Type RS LSD is suitable for vehicles with specific rear differential requirements. It offers a 1.5-way locking mechanism, making it well-suited for spirited driving and competitive motorsport applications. Installation is a direct replacement for the stock differential, requiring standard mechanical skills. The kit includes the LSD unit and necessary components for installation. Designed for use in street, track, or performance driving, this differential enhances traction and stability, providing a reliable upgrade for Mazda RX-7 owners aiming for 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.
