The Cusco 2-Way Rear Limited Slip Differential is a high-performance drivetrain component designed to enhance traction and handling for Subaru Impreza WRX (GC8) and Legacy (BD5) models. Engineered with Cusco's advanced technology, this LSD allows drivers to select from two of three available settings through a simple overhaul, providing customizable performance. The Type RS springs are formulated to absorb initial torque smoothly, resulting in a more gentle engagement compared to the Type MZ. Its low initial torque and reduced friction enable more efficient power transfer to the wheels, minimizing power loss and improving overall grip. This differential is built for enthusiasts seeking improved lap times and better control on both street and track conditions, especially in mildly tuned vehicles.
Designed for use on Subaru Impreza WRX (GC8) and Legacy (BD5) models, the Cusco LSD fits specific chassis and engine configurations, serving as a direct upgrade or replacement for the stock differential. It is suitable for street, track, and spirited driving applications where enhanced traction and responsiveness are desired. The unit is a bolt-on installation, with no additional modifications required, and includes all necessary components for proper setup. Compatible with various tuning levels, this limited slip differential is ideal for drivers aiming to optimize their vehicle’s handling dynamics and achieve superior performance in competitive or recreational driving scenarios.

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.
