What is the main benefit of a 1.5-way LSD?

A 1.5-way limited-slip differential engages more strongly during acceleration than deceleration. This helps to improve traction when accelerating out of corners and can reduce understeer, making the car feel more responsive.

Does this LSD come with all necessary installation hardware?

This product is the differential unit itself. It's recommended to consult the manufacturer's installation instructions or a professional mechanic to determine if any additional hardware or specialized tools are required for installation.

What is the difference between this and a 2-way LSD?

A 1.5-way LSD provides strong locking under acceleration and moderate locking under deceleration. A 2-way LSD locks equally strongly in both acceleration and deceleration, which can be more aggressive and potentially lead to more oversteer on deceleration.

About this part

Product Details

This is the Cusco Type RS 1.5-way limited-slip differential for the front of your 2008, 2010-2014 Mitsubishi Lancer Evo X equipped with ACD and the 5-speed manual transmission. A limited-slip differential, or LSD, is a crucial component for performance driving, especially in a car like the Evo X. Unlike an open differential that sends power to the wheel with the least traction, an LSD can distribute torque between the drive wheels, improving traction and putting power down more effectively, particularly when cornering or accelerating out of turns.

The Type RS is a well-known design from Cusco, offering a balance of performance and daily drivability. Its 1.5-way action means it engages more strongly during acceleration than deceleration. This characteristic helps to reduce understeer on corner exit, making the car feel more responsive and planted. The internal components are made from strong, durable materials designed to handle the stresses of spirited driving. Cusco is a popular name in the performance tuning world, known for making well-built drivetrain components.

This specific unit is designed for the front axle and requires the Active Center Differential (ACD) system found on certain Evo X models, and it is only compatible with the 5-speed manual transmission. Proper installation is key to unlocking the full benefits of this differential, so it's recommended to consult a qualified mechanic or refer to Cusco's installation guidelines. This LSD is a significant upgrade for anyone looking to enhance their Lancer's handling and traction capabilities.
