What is the main benefit of a 1-way limited slip differential?

A 1-way LSD primarily engages when you accelerate. This helps to lock the rear wheels together under power, ensuring both wheels receive torque and improving traction when accelerating out of corners or from a standstill.

What type of driving is this Cusco LSD best suited for?

The Type-MZ 1-Way is well-suited for performance driving, including spirited street driving, track days, and autocross. Its smooth engagement makes it more manageable for daily use compared to some other LSD types.

What else might I need for installation?

Installation of a differential typically requires specialized tools and knowledge. You will also need to refill the differential housing with the correct type and amount of gear oil specifically designed for limited slip differentials.

About this part

Product Details

Cusco is well-known for its high-performance suspension and drivetrain components, especially for rally and track-focused vehicles. This Type-MZ 1-Way limited slip differential (LSD) is designed to give your Subaru GC8 (1992-1996) or SF Forester (1997-1998) improved traction and handling, particularly during cornering and acceleration out of turns. It works by mechanically locking the rear wheels together under acceleration, ensuring that both wheels receive power even when one starts to lose grip.

The Type-MZ series features a unique clutch disc design that offers a smooth engagement and disengagement, making it more predictable and comfortable for daily driving than some other types of LSDs. This 1-way version primarily engages when you accelerate, helping to put power down more effectively. If you're looking to enhance your Subaru's performance on twisty roads or at the track, this Cusco LSD can make a notable difference in how the car puts power down and handles load transfer.

This differential is a significant upgrade for enthusiasts looking to maximize their vehicle's performance. Installation involves removing the rear differential and replacing the factory unit with this Cusco unit. It's recommended to consult a professional mechanic for installation, as it requires specialized knowledge and tools to ensure proper setup and function. You'll want to ensure you have the correct gear oil for limited slip differentials when refilling the housing after installation.
