What is a 2-way limited-slip differential and how does it work?

A 2-way LSD applies locking force during both acceleration and deceleration. This means it helps keep the rear wheels turning at similar speeds not only when you're on the gas, but also when you lift off or brake. This provides consistent grip and predictable handling, especially during cornering.

Does this differential come with all the necessary parts for installation?

This Cusco LSD unit is designed as a direct fit for the specified Mitsubishi Lancer models. However, the side bearings are not included and must be purchased separately. It is recommended to refer to the manufacturer's installation guide for a complete list of required components.

What is the benefit of the adjustable cam design on this LSD?

The adjustable cam design allows for fine-tuning of the differential's lock-up characteristics. This means you can adjust how aggressively the differential engages, tailoring its performance to your driving style and specific track or street conditions for improved handling and traction.

About this part

Product Details

The Cusco RS 2-way limited-slip differential is built with a unique cam design that allows for adjustable lock-up characteristics, a notable feature for performance driving. This differential is specifically designed for the 2003-2005 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution VIII models equipped with Active Yaw Control (AYC), ensuring seamless integration with your vehicle's existing systems. By managing the speed difference between the rear wheels, this LSD significantly improves traction during acceleration out of corners and enhances overall stability under hard braking.

Constructed with durable materials and precision machining, the RS series LSD offers a reliable upgrade for those seeking improved performance on both street and track. The 2-way operation means it applies locking force during both acceleration and deceleration, providing consistent grip and predictable handling. This can make a substantial difference in how your car feels when pushed, offering more confidence and control. It's important to note that while this unit is a direct fit for the specified Lancer models with AYC, the side bearings are not included and will need to be sourced separately.

Proper installation of a limited-slip differential is crucial for its performance and longevity. It's recommended to consult the manufacturer's installation instructions or a qualified mechanic to ensure correct setup. This Cusco LSD is a well-built component designed to handle the demands of spirited driving, offering a noticeable improvement in your Lancer's ability to put power down effectively.
