Cusco Type RS LSD
Unlike the Type MZ, the Type RS uses internal coil springs to generate initial preload. This allows the differential to run a lower initial torque setting while still engaging quickly and progressively when traction is required.
The result is:
- Smooth engagement during normal driving
- Progressive lock-up under acceleration
- Reduced chatter and drivetrain harshness
- Excellent traction when exiting corners
- Stable, predictable handling
- Long service life and rebuildable design
The lower initial preload also reduces unnecessary resistance during everyday driving, making the Type RS an excellent choice for vehicles that see both street and motorsport use.
Adjustable Initial Torque
The Type RS features coil springs located inside the pressure rings, allowing the initial preload to be tuned to suit your driving style.
Spring quantity can be increased or reduced to alter the initial locking characteristics, giving flexibility for street driving, circuit racing or other performance applications.

Only customers who have bought the product can review it.Had the classic whine at 80. Diff turned up next morning, swapped it over myself with the fitting guide, return label was in the box. Three weeks on and dead quiet. Core charge came back inside a week.
Rural delivery so it was two days not one. The part itself is mint and the oil was in the box which I did not expect.
