The Cusco LSD Type RS 1.5 Way Front is a high-performance limited slip differential designed for the Toyota MR2 AW11 Turbo and Non-Turbo models from 1984 to 1989. Engineered to enhance traction and handling, this LSD features adjustable settings that allow users to select two of three configurations through a simple overhaul. The Type RS utilizes springs to absorb initial torque, providing a gentler engagement compared to the Type MZ, resulting in lower friction and improved response. Its low initial torque design minimizes power loss, which can lead to faster lap times even on mildly tuned vehicles. Constructed with precision components, this differential offers improved grip and stability during aggressive driving or cornering, making it an ideal upgrade for enthusiasts seeking better performance and control.

Designed specifically for 1984–1989 Toyota MR2 models, both turbocharged and naturally aspirated, the Cusco LSD Type RS serves as a direct upgrade to the stock differential. It is suitable for street, track, or spirited driving, providing enhanced traction and cornering capabilities. Installation involves a straightforward bolt-on process, with the unit replacing the factory differential to optimize handling characteristics. The kit includes the LSD unit and necessary components for installation, ensuring compatibility with the vehicle’s existing drivetrain. This differential is perfect for drivers aiming to improve grip and reduce lap times, whether on the street or on the race track.

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.
