The Cusco LSD Type-RS 2-Way Rear is a high-performance limited slip differential designed for the RX-7 and RX-8 models, including FC3S, FD3S, and SE3P chassis codes. Engineered to enhance traction and handling, this LSD features adjustable settings that can be modified through a simple overhaul, allowing drivers to customize their driving experience. The Type RS model 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 improving lap times even on mildly tuned vehicles. Constructed with precision components, this differential offers improved response and durability for spirited driving and competitive track use.
Suitable for vehicles from 1986 to 2002, the Cusco LSD Type-RS is a direct replacement for the factory differential, offering enhanced grip and cornering performance. It is ideal for track days, spirited street driving, or racing applications where optimal traction is critical. The unit is designed for bolt-on installation, compatible with the rear axle of the specified models, and does not require additional modifications. The kit includes the differential assembly and necessary hardware for installation. This LSD is perfect for enthusiasts seeking improved handling, reduced wheel spin, and better overall performance in both street and track environments.

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.
