The Cusco Type RS 1 Way Limited Slip Differential is a high-performance upgrade designed for Subaru GC8 GDA Impreza BR9 BM9 models from 2002 to 2007. Engineered to enhance traction and handling, this LSD features a spring-based mechanism that absorbs initial torque, providing a smoother engagement compared to the Type MZ. The Type RS offers adjustable settings, allowing users to select two of three configurations through a simple overhaul, making it versatile for various driving conditions. Its low initial torque design results in less power loss, translating into improved acceleration and reduced lap times, especially beneficial for mildly tuned vehicles seeking competitive performance. Constructed with precision components, the LSD ensures durability and consistent response under demanding driving scenarios, making it an ideal choice for enthusiasts aiming for optimal grip and control on the track or spirited street driving. The unit’s design emphasizes low friction and efficient torque transfer, contributing to overall vehicle stability and performance.

Designed specifically for Subaru GC8 GDA Impreza models within the 2002-2007 year range, the Cusco Type RS LSD is a direct replacement for the factory differential, offering a bolt-on installation for seamless integration. It is suitable for use in street, track, or autocross applications where enhanced traction is desired. The differential is configured for 1-way operation, providing increased lockup during acceleration while allowing for smooth disengagement during deceleration. This LSD is compatible with various engine and chassis configurations within the specified models, ensuring broad applicability. The kit includes the LSD unit itself, with no additional components specified, and requires standard installation procedures. Its adjustable nature makes it a versatile upgrade for drivers seeking improved cornering and handling performance in both daily driving and competitive environments.

Overview

If you need the absolute best in traction, a Cusco Limited Slip Differential is what you seek. Cusco LSDs allow you to chose 2 of 3 settings with each unit just with a simple overhaul.

In the Type RS, it's springs absorb the initial torque. Compared to the Type MZ, the Type RS' initial torque comes on more gently. The response of the RS has lower friction and in turn, is better.

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 perfect, whether you're drag racing or going for huge drifts.

Three Ways To Set Up Your LSD

  • A 1 Way LSD is specially suited for front wheel drive cars and the front axle of AWD cars. It activates only under acceleration, allowing the better handling when you lift off the throttle. This is a great way to improve lap times.
  • A 1.5-way LSD activates fully under acceleration, but does not activate fully under deceleration. This decreases understeer compared to a 2-way LSD. This is recommended for drivers having difficulty with 2-way LSD understeer, or the braking on a one-way LSD.
  • A 2-way LSD is recommended on rear wheel drive cars and AWD rear axle cars.. Because it activates on both acceleration and deceleration, it is recommended for those who prefer hot driving action and big angle drift.
