What does an LSD actually do?

It manages the differing load that's always applied to the left and right drive wheels during cornering or acceleration. An open differential lets the inside wheel spin freely under load, which wastes power; an LSD like this one keeps power going to both wheels more evenly, improving traction out of a corner.

What is a 1.75-way LSD?

It describes the mechanical configuration Spoon uses, noted specifically for its ease of use compared with more aggressive configurations. This setup delivers functionality well beyond a standard open differential while remaining approachable to live with day to day.

What is the initial torque setting?

9 to 9.5kg, measured cold. This is the preload setting the LSD ships at, which determines how readily the unit locks under load. Confirm this figure against your service documentation if you're adjusting or rebuilding the unit later.

Are side bearings included?

Yes, side bearings are included with this kit, so that's one less separate part to source for a complete installation.

Which S2000 does this fit?

Both AP1 and AP2, covering the full 2000 to 2009 production run.

Are repair parts available for this LSD kit?

Yes, Spoon offers a ring gear bolt set as a repair part specifically for this L.S.D. kit, useful during a future service or rebuild rather than reusing bolts that have already seen a full duty cycle.

Description

Spoon L.S.D. Kit for AP1 Honda S2000

Cornering and accelerating always put a differing degree of load on the left and right drive wheels, which is exactly what a limited-slip differential is built to manage. Spoon’s L.S.D. Kit uses a 1.75-way mechanical configuration, a design noted for its ease of use, giving functionality that goes well beyond what the normal open differential provides. For sporty driving where power needs to reach the ground evenly through a corner rather than spinning up the inside wheel, an LSD like this is close to indispensable.

Spoon L.S.D. Kit Features

1.75-way mechanical LSD configuration
Ease of use noted as a strength of this configuration
Initial torque setting of 9-9.5kg (cold)
Side bearings included

Applications

Honda S2000: AP1, AP2 | 2000-2009

Notes

Side bearings are included with this kit
Initial torque setting is 9-9.5kg, measured cold
Professional installation strongly recommended. Differential work is torque-critical and directly affects drivability and safety; have this installed by a technician experienced with LSD units.

Additional Information

The Bulletproof Automotive website contains many thousands of products purchased in multiple different currencies. All of the prices are entered manually and accurately at the time of entry. Due to the consistently fluctuating international exchange rates, at times prices may not be able to be honored at their original intended rate. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, unfortunately our website is unable to compensate dynamically for what can at times be volatile changes in the cost of items due to currency values fluctuating, changes in prices from suppliers, changes in shipping and import duties, and other factors. Rest assured that any order you place on line will be at zero risk to you in this area. If in the event your order cannot be fulfilled at the original intended website price we will offer you a 100% refund, no questions asked. We will continue to do our best to maintain updated prices and we will always continue to offer our price match guarantees as well to ensure our prices are always the best for you. In short, prices may change without notice. It is always advised to give us a call prior to placing your order online to confirm availability and to confirm current pricing.

Shipping Policy

Items that are in stock in the US, either at Bulletproof’s warehouse or at a supplier’s warehouse, are generally delivered within 7-10 days. Special order items from overseas take considerably longer. As a courtesy Bulletproof offers delivery estimates to our customers which take into consideration manufacturer availability and shipping schedule. These estimates represent our best guess based on previous orders from the manufacturer and do not in any way imply a guaranteed delivery window. Many manufacturers work in a “just in time” inventory system and often take 2-20+ weeks to produce an item once an order is submitted. All deliverable items are then sent to our Japanese warehouse. Bulletproof ships a minimum of one full ocean freight container every month from Japan, oftentimes more than one a month. Ocean freight takes an average of 4 weeks. Typically it breaks down to one week in Japan for paperwork and customs, two weeks by boat and one week in US customs/clearance. Due to the wide number of variables between manufacturer and shipping schedules, delivery estimates are simply just that – estimates. We attempt to estimate conservatively and we usually deliver faster than our estimates suggest. It is not Bulletproof’s policy to guarantee delivery time of any special order item, this is impossible for us to do. By ordering you acknowledge that there is no required delivery ETA and an order may not be canceled or altered due to manufacturing or shipping delays, all ETA’s are provided as a best guess only. Please review the full Terms & Conditions here.

BP Pricing Difference

We do pricing a little differently on our JDM brands and we believe in making things simple and clear. No hidden fees or surcharges. Every price you see includes the shipping cost to our office in Los Angeles, California and all the associated taxes/duties/fees for bringing the products into the US. The only shipping you ever pay is from our facility in the US to your location. Be wary of resellers that don’t include the cost of international shipping in their pricing on JDM parts. While we believe we’ll always have the lowest all-in price on JDM products, we offer a price match guarantee for all authentic parts purchased from authorized dealers as well. For many international customers, it’s much more affordable to ship from the USA than from Japan directly, as the air freight and ocean freight costs are typically much less. However, for customers looking to ship directly from Japan outside of North America, or domestically in Japan, we can provide pricing specifically for that scenario. Please do not hesitate to contact us with any pricing questions or concerns. Please email us at sales@bulletproofautomotive.com with any inquiries.
