What is the difference between a 1-way and 1.5-way LSD?

A 1-way LSD primarily locks during acceleration, helping to prevent wheel spin. A 1.5-way LSD locks during acceleration and also provides a partial lock during deceleration, which can help stabilize the vehicle during corner entry and improve turn-in response.

What is included with the Cusco Type RS LSD?

The Cusco Type RS LSD unit itself is included. Installation typically requires additional components such as transmission fluid, seals, and potentially bearings, which are usually sold separately. Refer to the manufacturer's installation guide for a complete list of required parts.

Is this LSD suitable for daily driving?

While the Type RS is known for its smooth engagement, it is a performance-oriented differential. Some minor changes in driving feel, such as slight chatter during low-speed turns, may be noticeable compared to an open differential. It is generally well-suited for spirited driving and track use.

About this part

Product Details

The Cusco Type RS 1.5-way limited-slip differential (LSD) uses a unique cam mechanism that allows for two different locking characteristics: 1.5-way during acceleration and 1-way during deceleration. This design is built with high-strength steel components and features a compact, low-profile body to fit within the transmission case. It's specifically engineered for Honda vehicles equipped with K-series K20 and K24 engines, offering a significant upgrade for performance driving and track use.

This LSD is designed to improve traction and handling by mechanically limiting wheel spin. When you accelerate, the 1.5-way setting engages more aggressively, helping to put power down smoothly and prevent inside wheel spin. During deceleration or coasting, the 1-way setting provides a gentler lock, which can help stabilize the car during corner entry. The Type RS model is known for its smooth engagement and durability, making it a popular choice for those looking to enhance their vehicle's performance on the track or during spirited driving. The internal components are precision-machined to ensure reliable operation and longevity.

Installing a limited-slip differential like this Cusco Type RS is a significant modification that requires careful attention to detail. It's recommended to consult the manufacturer's installation manual for specific procedures, as it involves disassembling the transmission and often requires specialized tools. This differential is a substantial upgrade for enthusiasts seeking improved grip and control, especially in high-performance driving scenarios.
