The Cusco Type RS Limited Slip Differential (LSD) is a high-performance drivetrain component designed for rear-wheel-drive Subaru models, including the GDB, GC8, GRB, and GVB chassis from 2004 to 2007. Engineered to optimize traction and handling, this LSD features a sophisticated spring absorption system that allows drivers to select two of three available settings through a simple overhaul. The Type RS offers a gentler initial torque response compared to the Type MZ, resulting in lower friction and improved response characteristics. Its low initial torque design minimizes power loss, translating into faster lap times and enhanced performance on the track or spirited driving scenarios. Constructed with precision components, the LSD ensures durability and consistent operation under demanding conditions, making it an ideal upgrade for enthusiasts seeking improved grip and cornering stability.
Designed specifically for 2004-2007 Subaru Impreza WRX STI models with the GDB, GC8, GRB, or GVB chassis, this rear LSD is a direct replacement for the stock differential. It is suitable for both street and track use, providing increased traction during aggressive driving and cornering. The installation involves a straightforward bolt-on process, with no extensive modifications required. The kit includes the LSD unit itself, with the ability to adjust settings for different driving preferences or conditions. This product is perfect for enthusiasts looking to enhance their vehicle's handling dynamics, whether for daily driving, spirited canyon runs, or competitive track days. Compatibility with various Subaru models and the adjustable nature of the LSD make it a versatile upgrade for performance-oriented drivers.

Overview
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.
