Cusco DC5 Type RS 1WAY(1&1.5WAY) Type R

Cusco is well-known for making performance drivetrain components, especially for Japanese performance cars. This Type RS 1-way limited slip differential (LSD) is a prime example, designed for the DC5 Type R. It's built to improve traction and handling by controlling how much the wheels can spin independently. This means when you're accelerating out of a corner, the differential helps put power down more evenly to both drive wheels, reducing wheelspin and improving your car's ability to grip the road.

The Type RS model is a popular choice because it offers a good balance between performance and drivability. Its 1-way design primarily engages under acceleration, which is when you most need the extra traction. This helps prevent the inside wheel from spinning freely when you're getting on the gas. For those who want a bit more adjustability, this differential can also be set up as a 1.5-way, which offers some locking action on deceleration as well, providing a more stable feel during cornering. The internal components are made with durable materials to withstand the stresses of performance driving, ensuring it holds up over time.

Installing a limited slip differential is a significant upgrade for any performance-oriented vehicle like the DC5 Type R. It requires careful installation, often involving removing the transmission and the factory open differential to replace it with the Cusco unit. It's a job that benefits from specialized tools and knowledge to ensure proper setup and longevity. Once installed, you'll notice a more connected feel from the drivetrain, especially when pushing the car hard.
