The Cusco LSD Type-RS 2-Way Rear is a high-performance limited slip differential designed to enhance traction and handling for Subaru Forester, Impreza, and Legacy models from 2008 to 2013 and 1996 to 2009. Engineered with a spring-based mechanism, this LSD provides smooth torque transfer and adjustable settings, allowing users to select two of three configurations through a simple overhaul. The Type RS features low initial torque, which engages more gradually compared to the Type MZ, resulting in reduced power loss and improved response. Its construction emphasizes lower friction and efficient power distribution, making it ideal for spirited driving and competitive track use. The differential’s design ensures better grip and stability, especially during cornering, contributing to lower lap times and enhanced vehicle control.

This limited slip differential is compatible with Subaru Forester, Impreza, and Legacy models within the specified years, serving as a direct upgrade or replacement for the factory unit. It is suitable for street, track, and performance driving applications where improved traction and handling are desired. The installation involves a straightforward bolt-on process, with the unit including the necessary components for proper fitment. The adjustable settings allow for customization based on driving style and conditions, making it a versatile choice for enthusiasts seeking to optimize their vehicle’s performance on various surfaces.

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.
