The Cusco Limited Slip Differential Type-RS 1 & 1.5 Way Rear is a high-performance LSD designed for the Mazda MX-5 (NA6CE) models from 1989 to 1993. Engineered to optimize traction, 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 lower friction design ensures more efficient power transfer to the wheels, reducing power loss and enhancing overall grip. The low initial torque characteristic results in gentler power delivery, which can lead to improved lap times even on mildly tuned vehicles. Constructed for durability and precision, this LSD offers a significant upgrade for performance driving.
Designed specifically for the rear axle of 1989–1993 Mazda MX-5 (NA6CE) models, the Cusco Type RS LSD is a direct replacement that enhances handling and traction on both street and track environments. It is suitable for enthusiasts seeking improved cornering and acceleration performance, whether for spirited driving or competitive racing. Installation involves a straightforward bolt-on process, making it accessible for qualified mechanics or experienced DIYers. The kit includes the LSD unit itself, with no additional components specified. Compatible with stock or upgraded differentials, this Cusco LSD is ideal for drivers aiming to maximize grip and control in various driving conditions.

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.
