The Cusco 1-Way 45 Degree Type RS Limited Slip Differential is a high-performance drivetrain component designed to enhance traction and handling for Honda Civic Type R FK8 and FL5 models from 2017 onward. Engineered with a focus on efficiency, this LSD features low initial torque settings that allow for smoother power transfer to the wheels, reducing power loss and improving lap times. Its construction incorporates springs that absorb initial torque, providing a more responsive and controlled driving experience. Compared to the Type MZ, the Type RS offers a gentler initial torque response, resulting in more efficient power distribution and better grip during aggressive driving or track use.
This LSD is a direct replacement for the stock differential on compatible Honda Civic Type R models, fitting vehicles from 2017 and later with specific chassis codes. It is suitable for both street and track applications, offering improved traction during cornering and acceleration. The unit allows for easy adjustment between two of three settings through a simple overhaul, giving drivers customization options for different driving conditions. Installation is straightforward for those familiar with drivetrain components, and the kit includes the necessary parts for a complete upgrade. Designed for performance enthusiasts, this Cusco LSD enhances vehicle stability and cornering capability in demanding 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.
