The Cusco Type-MZ Limited Slip Differential represents the pinnacle of mechanical LSD technology, engineered for drivers who demand maximum performance and durability in high-powered racing applications. This rear differential is specifically designed for Toyota 86/FT86, Scion FR-S, and Subaru BRZ models with 5.1 final ratio, offering a direct replacement for the factory open differential.
Type-MZ Technology: The Type-MZ utilizes an advanced cone spring design where activation pressure opposes the direction of initial torque, creating the highest initial torque rating of any Cusco LSD model. The high-pressure cone spring engages the full clutch pack lock at a linear rate, delivering consistent and predictable power transfer. This design provides smoother torque delivery compared to traditional LSDs while handling extreme power levels, making it ideal for track and racing applications.
Dual Configuration Design: The pressure ring features dual profiles allowing you to switch between 1.5-way and 2-way operation without purchasing additional components. Configure for 1.5-way operation to activate strongly under acceleration with reduced lockup during deceleration, minimizing understeer while maintaining traction. Switch to 2-way for maximum performance in drifting and aggressive driving, with full activation during both acceleration and deceleration for consistent behavior through corners.
Advanced Engineering Features:
- Exclusive radially-cut clutch plate grooves enable instant oil movement for improved efficiency and durability
- Oil Through System enhances circulation and lubrication to critical components using forged internal parts
- Polished pressure ring contact surface ensures even, flat contact with clutch plates
- Chromoly case construction withstands extreme racing conditions
- Adjustable locking characteristics through plate combination and stacking configuration
- Ten clutch plates per side (increased from eight) for enhanced LSD performance and power handling
Race-Proven Performance: Developed through extensive R&D testing and proven in competition, the Type-MZ delivers superior handling, maximized traction, and reduced wheel spin in challenging driving conditions. Professional installation and proper break-in procedure recommended. Use with Cusco LSD oil for optimal performance and longevity.
