Cusco RS Front Limited Slip Differential 1.5 Way Subaru WRX 2002-2007 / Impreza GC8 1998-2001

Part #: LSD 180 C15. Cusco's high - performance limited slip differentials offer multiple benefits. When turning, the inner driven wheel usually has less weight and can spin freely, which stops you from using all your power and can disrupt the car's balance. Our LSD ensures both wheels spin at the same speed, giving you maximum traction when accelerating out of a turn. During acceleration, a standard LSD might be too weak to lock both wheels, allowing one to spin. Cusco's LSDs keep both wheels firmly locked, so your car stays stable while you put down all your power. Cusco offers two types of LSDs. The Type - RS uses springs to absorb some of the initial torque on the LSD. This results in a smoother engagement and transitions, less noise, and a longer lifespan. It also reduces how often you need to change the oil. The 1.5 - way differential activates mainly during acceleration and less during deceleration. It's great for all types of motorsports. It provides optimized performance during acceleration and a lighter lock - up during deceleration, making it ideal for traditional road racers. Even though it has a slighter lock - up on deceleration, many users also use it for aggressive motorsports like drifting or low - gear auto - crossing and gymkhana. FWD vehicles can also gain more stability when braking.

Using your Cusco 1.5 - way limited slip differential is straightforward. Once it's installed in your Subaru WRX or Impreza GC8, just drive as you normally would. During acceleration, you'll notice better traction as both wheels work together. When turning, the differential helps keep your car balanced. Here are some things to keep in mind. Make sure the differential is installed correctly by a professional to avoid any issues. Check the oil regularly. Since the Type - RS reduces oil - change frequency, you don't have to do it as often as with a standard differential, but still keep an eye on it. If you notice any strange noises or changes in how the car handles, it might be a sign that something's wrong. In that case, get it checked out by a mechanic. Also, be aware that while the 1.5 - way differential is great for many types of driving, its performance characteristics might take a little getting used to, especially if you're coming from a standard differential. But with a bit of practice, you'll enjoy the improved performance it offers.
