Cusco LSD MZ 1 Way (35/0 & 1 Way 45/0) 07-14 Mazda2 / Demio (DE5FS - 1.5L ZY-VE)

This Cusco LSD MZ 1 Way differential is designed for the 2007-2014 Mazda2 and Demio models equipped with the 1.5L ZY-VE engine. It replaces your factory open differential, offering a significant improvement in traction and handling, especially during spirited driving or when exiting corners. The limited-slip differential (LSD) works by transferring torque to the wheel with more grip, preventing wheel spin and putting power down more effectively.

Cusco offers this unit with two distinct locking characteristics: a 35/0 setting for a more aggressive lock-up bias and a 45/0 setting for a slightly milder engagement. This allows you to tune the differential's behavior to your driving style and track conditions. The MZ series is known for its smooth engagement and durability, making it a popular choice for performance enthusiasts looking to enhance their vehicle's cornering capabilities. Installation involves removing the factory differential and installing this unit, which typically requires specialized tools and knowledge of drivetrain components.

When installing a limited-slip differential, it's important to ensure all associated components are in good condition. You may also want to consider fresh gear oil specifically designed for LSD applications to ensure optimal performance and longevity of the unit. This differential is a substantial upgrade for anyone looking to maximize their Mazda2's performance potential.
