Cusco LSD 162 L15 Type RS 2-Way Limited Slip Differential

The Cusco LSD 162 L15 Type RS is a high-performance 2-way limited slip differential (LSD) engineered for serious competition and spirited street driving. Battle-tested in the All Japan Gymkhana Championship, the Type RS completed full seasons without requiring a single overhaul, while drivers and teams consistently achieved top results.

Cusco's proprietary design reduces initial torque by 50 to 70% compared to conventional cone plate type LSDs, delivering lower drive friction and sharper throttle response. The result is a differential that feels more natural to drive while outperforming traditional units under demanding conditions.

Key Features:

• Reduced power loss for improved lap times, even in mildly tuned vehicles
• Low chatter for a quieter, more refined driving experience
• Enhanced durability through low-pressure clutch plate design, minimizing wear and deterioration
• Optimized oil flow between plates for higher LSD efficiency
• Special precision springs set in the pressure plate ensure consistent and steady coil movement
• Clutch plates resist sticking, unlike conventional cone plate LSDs, resulting in less wear over time

Understanding Cusco LSD Settings:

• 1-Way LSD: Ideal for front-wheel drive and AWD front axle applications. Engages under acceleration and releases under deceleration for natural, responsive handling.
• 1.5-Way LSD: Engages under acceleration with reduced understeer on deceleration compared to a 2-way setup. Recommended for drivers sensitive to understeer behavior.
• 2-Way LSD (this unit): Designed for rear-wheel drive and AWD rear axle applications. Engages on both acceleration and deceleration — ideal for aggressive driving styles, high-angle drifting, and circuit use.

The Cusco Type RS LSD is a proven competition-grade solution for drivers who demand reliability, precision, and performance from their drivetrain.
