What is the difference between a 1-way and 1.5-way LSD?

A 1-way LSD primarily locks under acceleration, helping to distribute power to both wheels and reduce wheelspin. A 1.5-way LSD locks under acceleration and also provides some locking effect during deceleration, which can help stabilize the vehicle during corner entry and braking.

What type of fluid should I use with this LSD?

It is crucial to use the specific differential fluid recommended by Cusco for this Type RS LSD. Using the incorrect fluid can affect performance and potentially damage the unit. Refer to Cusco's installation guide or contact their support for the exact fluid specifications.

Does this LSD come with all necessary installation hardware?

This product is the Cusco Type RS Limited Slip Differential unit itself. While it is designed as a direct fit, it is recommended to consult the manufacturer's installation instructions to confirm if any additional hardware or specialized tools are required for installation.

About this part

Product Details

Cusco is a well-known name in the performance automotive world, especially for their suspension and drivetrain components. This Type RS Limited Slip Differential (LSD) is built for the 2017 Honda Civic Type-R FK8, designed to improve traction and handling, especially during spirited driving and cornering.

The Type RS model offers a unique 1-way and 1.5-way activation. This means it engages under acceleration to help put power down more evenly to both front wheels, reducing wheelspin and improving corner exit speeds. The 1.5-way setting also provides a degree of locking under deceleration, which can help stabilize the car during braking and turn-in. This LSD uses a cone-type clutch system, which is known for its smooth engagement and durability. Cusco has engineered this unit to be a direct fit for the FK8 chassis, simplifying installation compared to universal LSDs.

When installing an LSD, it's important to use the correct differential fluid as recommended by Cusco to ensure proper operation and longevity. This unit is designed to work with the factory transmission and drivetrain components of the 2017 Civic Type-R FK8. Proper break-in procedures, as outlined by Cusco, should also be followed to seat the clutch plates correctly.
