Cusco LSD Type-MZ 2-Way (1&2 Way) Rear Subaru Forester SF 98-02/SG EJ20T MT&AT/SH EJ20T 4AT

If you're looking to get more grip and better handling out of your 2001-2007 Subaru Impreza, this Cusco Type-MZ 2-way limited-slip differential is a solid choice. This differential is designed to help put power down more effectively, especially when you're accelerating out of corners or dealing with slippery conditions. It works by locking the rear wheels together under acceleration, which helps prevent one wheel from spinning while the other has traction. This means you get a more stable and predictable feel when you're pushing the car.

The Type-MZ is a well-known design from Cusco, and this version offers both 1-way and 2-way operation. In 2-way mode, it locks under both acceleration and deceleration. This can provide a more consistent feel through turns, as the differential is always working to keep both rear wheels turning together. The internal components are made from strong materials, and the clutch plates are designed for durability and consistent performance. Installation involves replacing your factory differential, which is a job that requires some mechanical know-how and specific tools, often involving removing the rear axle and differential housing.

This unit is specifically designed for the Impreza models from 2001 to 2007. When installing, it's important to use the correct differential fluid recommended by Cusco to ensure proper break-in and long-term performance. Many owners find that adding an LSD like this significantly changes the car's handling characteristics, making it feel more planted and responsive, especially during spirited driving or track use.
