Cusco LSD NA6CE W/ BISCUS MZ 2WAY

If you're looking to get the most out of your NA6CE Miata's handling, especially during spirited driving or track events, a limited-slip differential (LSD) is a game-changer. This 2-way LSD from Cusco is designed to help put power down more effectively, improving traction out of corners and providing a more balanced feel to the car's chassis. Unlike a standard open differential, which sends all power to the wheel with the least traction, an LSD splits power between both rear wheels, ensuring both are working to propel the car forward.

This Cusco MZ 2-way unit offers a unique engagement characteristic. During acceleration, it locks up to send power to both wheels, enhancing traction. Crucially, it also locks up during deceleration (engine braking), which helps stabilize the rear end when you lift off the throttle mid-corner. This can make the car feel more predictable and easier to control at the limit. The 2-way design is particularly favored by drivers who want a more active rear end that aids in rotation. It's built with Cusco's reputation for well-made drivetrain components, aiming for reliable performance under demanding conditions.

Installation of a differential like this involves removing the rear axle assembly and opening up the differential housing. It's a job that requires specific tools and a good understanding of drivetrain components to ensure proper backlash and preload settings. Because this is a performance-oriented part, it's often paired with upgraded suspension components to fully take advantage of the improved traction. Make sure to consult the manufacturer's installation instructions for the precise procedures and any special tools or fluids required.
