What is a 1-way LSD and how does it work?

A 1-way LSD primarily locks when you are accelerating. It senses a difference in wheel speed and applies torque to both rear wheels, helping to improve traction when you are on the throttle, especially when exiting corners.

What is the difference between this RS model and other Cusco LSDs?

The RS series is Cusco's clutch-type LSD known for its performance-oriented engagement. It's designed to provide a strong locking effect under acceleration, which is beneficial for sporty driving and track use.

Does this LSD come with all the necessary installation hardware?

Installation of a differential typically requires specialized tools and often involves reusing some factory components or purchasing additional seals and bearings. It is recommended to consult with a professional mechanic or refer to Cusco's installation instructions for a complete list of what is needed.

About this part

Product Details

Cusco is well-known for its performance suspension and drivetrain components, especially for Japanese sports cars. This 1-way RS Limited Slip Differential (LSD) is specifically designed for the 2016 Mazda MX-5 Miata (ND generation, USDM models only), aiming to enhance traction and cornering performance. If you're looking to get more grip out of your Miata, especially during acceleration out of turns, an LSD like this can make a notable difference.

The RS series LSD from Cusco uses a clutch-type mechanism that engages when it detects a difference in wheel speed. This 1-way design primarily locks under acceleration, helping to put power down more evenly to both rear wheels when you're on the throttle. This can lead to improved stability and a more predictable feel when exiting corners. The unit is built with durable materials designed to withstand the demands of performance driving. Installation involves replacing the factory differential, so it's a job best suited for a shop experienced with drivetrain components.

This differential is designed for USDM (United States Domestic Market) vehicles. Ensure your 2016 MX-5 Miata is a USDM model before purchasing. Proper installation by a qualified technician is recommended to ensure optimal performance and longevity of the unit.
