The Cusco Type RS 1.5 Way Limited Slip Differential is a high-performance drivetrain component designed to enhance traction and handling for the Honda S2000 AP1 models from 1999 to 2003. Engineered with adjustable settings, this LSD allows users to select two of three configurations through a simple overhaul process. The Type RS features springs that absorb initial torque, providing a more gentle engagement compared to the Type MZ, resulting in lower friction and improved response. Its low initial torque design reduces power loss, which can lead to faster lap times even on mildly tuned vehicles. Constructed with precision components, the Cusco LSD delivers improved grip and stability during aggressive driving or cornering, making it an ideal upgrade for enthusiasts seeking enhanced performance.

This limited slip differential is specifically designed for 1999-2003 Honda S2000 AP1 models, offering a direct replacement for the stock differential. It is suitable for street, track, or spirited driving applications where improved traction is desired. The unit is a 1.5-way LSD, providing locking action during both acceleration and deceleration, which benefits cornering and stability. Installation involves straightforward bolt-on replacement, with no additional modifications required. The kit includes the LSD unit itself, and it is compatible with the original mounting points and specifications. Perfect for performance-oriented drivers, this Cusco LSD enhances handling dynamics and reduces wheel spin for a more confident driving experience.

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.
