The Cusco LSD Type RS 1-Way 55° Rear is a high-performance limited slip differential designed for the Subaru WRX STI GDB/GRB models from 2008 to 2015. Engineered to enhance traction and power transfer, this LSD features adjustable settings that can be modified with a simple overhaul, allowing drivers to customize their driving experience. The Type RS utilizes springs to absorb initial torque, providing a smoother engagement compared to the Type MZ. Its low-friction design ensures 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 demanding driving conditions.

Designed specifically for 2008–2015 Subaru WRX STI GDB/GRB models, the Cusco LSD Type RS is a direct replacement for the factory differential, suitable for street, track, or spirited driving. It is a bolt-on upgrade that enhances traction and handling by effectively distributing power to the rear wheels. The unit includes the necessary components for installation and is optimized for vehicles with performance-oriented setups. Ideal for enthusiasts seeking better cornering and acceleration, this LSD provides customizable settings to match various driving styles and conditions, making it a versatile upgrade for both daily driving and competitive motorsport applications.

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.
