The Cusco LSD Type-RS 2 Way Rear is a limited slip differential designed for Mazda 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 with a simple overhaul, allowing drivers to customize performance. 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. Constructed with high-quality materials, this differential offers reliable durability and consistent performance on both street and track environments.
Designed specifically for 1986–2002 Mazda RX-7 and RX-8 vehicles, the Cusco LSD Type-RS 2 Way is a direct replacement for the factory differential. It is suitable for use in street, track, or spirited driving, where enhanced traction and responsiveness are desired. Installation involves replacing the existing differential with this bolt-on upgrade, which includes all necessary components for a straightforward setup. Compatible with various engine configurations within the specified models, this LSD is ideal for enthusiasts seeking improved cornering grip and acceleration performance in their rotary-powered cars.

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.
