Cusco 1-Way Type-RS LSD for FK8 Honda Civic Type R

Cusco 1-Way Type-RS LSD for FK8 Honda Civic Type R

Cusco believes that the Limited Slip Differential systems should work to provide drivers with least amount of compromises, and fine-tuning in all aspects to cater a precise character that a driver might need for a very wide variety of motorsport stages. It should not simply lock the differential, but be available to lock when needed, and not lock when it isn’t optimal to do so. Cusco LSD provides many elements that can be tuned and tailored, and have mulitple system configuration to match the character of how it locks, when it locks and releases, and adjustability of strength of the lock, and responsiveness of each of these factors.

1 way (45 deg. Default, 1.5-way 45 deg. / 15 deg. Optional)
Initial Torque 3-5 kgf-m

The Cusco Type-RS LSD is Suited for Drivers Who

• Prefer lower maintenance on racing-grade LSD units.
• Prefer more immediacy in actuation response right from the initial lock setting to maximum preset lock rate.
• Drive lower-powered, compact cars in competitions
• Does a lot of standing-start drag racing and short track, autocross with light-trigger starts

Initial lock setting is more consistent and evenly spread over friction plates over traditional LSD systems.

Inner-coil spring design allows for less initial lock settings on friction plates than traditional LSD to achieve similar response.

Springs keep the friction plates in contact evenly and aids to prolong the life of the plates, while also preventing deformation of plate surface.

Choice of 2 cam ramps on the pressure plate for tuning.

Ability to be adjusted for initial torque settings via positioning and number of coil springs.

Vector of force applied by the pressure plate is the same as the initial lock springs, making the LSD actuation consistent.

Chattering of plates are minimized in the RS Type design with consistent pressure across the radius of the friction late surface.

Oil-through design ensures positive pressurized flow of differential gear oil through all parts of the system.
