Cusco LSD Type RS 1 & 1.5 Way Rear for Mazda BG8Z

If you're looking to get the most out of your Mazda BG8Z's performance, especially when it comes to cornering and traction, a limited-slip differential (LSD) is a serious upgrade. This Cusco Type RS LSD is designed to replace your factory open differential, allowing both rear wheels to receive power more evenly, even when one wheel starts to lose grip. This means better acceleration out of turns and more planted handling when you're pushing the car.

The Type RS is a clutch-type LSD, which uses a series of clutch plates to create the locking effect. What makes this one stand out is its ability to function as both a 1-way and a 1.5-way differential. In a 1-way setup, it locks under acceleration, helping to put power down. The 1.5-way setting adds a bit of locking effect during deceleration, which can help stabilize the rear end during corner entry and exit. This versatility makes it a popular choice for drivers who want improved traction for both spirited street driving and track use. It’s a well-built unit that’s designed to handle the demands of performance driving.

When installing a differential like this, it's important to use the correct gear oil specified by Cusco, as this is crucial for proper break-in and long-term performance. You'll also want to ensure you have the necessary tools and potentially a helper for the installation, as it involves working with the drivetrain. This LSD is a significant improvement over a standard open differential, offering a more connected and controlled driving experience.
