Cusco LSD 183 L2 Limited Slip Differential

Upgrade your driving experience with the Cusco LSD 183 L2 Limited Slip Differential. This innovative suspension product is designed to enhance your vehicle's performance, particularly for the Subaru Forester XT models from 2004 to 2008. With its unique features and specifications, this LSD not only improves traction but also offers a smoother ride, making it a fantastic choice for both everyday driving and spirited adventures.

Key Features

  • Minimized Drivetrain Power Loss: Perfect for underpowered vehicles, ensuring that every bit of power is effectively utilized.
  • Reduced Noise: Experience less chattering noise compared to traditional LSD systems, allowing for a quieter ride.
  • RS Coil Spring Activation: The RS coil springs maintain consistent pressure, ensuring stable and extended performance without losing their effectiveness.
  • Improved Throttle Control: The activation and pressure direction align on the same axis, providing a more direct and responsive driving experience.

How It Works

The Cusco LSD 183 L2 features a unique coil spring design that applies activation pressure in the same direction as the initial torque. This allows for a lower initial torque setting, enabling smoother and quicker engagement of the clutch plates. Even when the LSD mechanism is inactive, the low initial torque setting facilitates smooth turns, enhancing your overall driving comfort.

Customization Options

One of the standout features of the LSD 183 L2 is its customization potential. You can easily adjust the responsiveness and locking characteristics by modifying the combination of clutch plates. The RS springs, which sit inside the pressure rings, can be added or removed based on your personal preferences, allowing you to tailor the differential to your specific driving style.

Durability and Efficiency

Designed with longevity in mind, the Cusco LSD features exclusive clutch plate grooves that are cut radially. This design promotes instant oil movement, significantly enhancing efficiency and durability. The polished pressure ring contact surface ensures a flat and even contact with the clutch plates, further improving performance. When paired with Cusco LSD Oil, the exclusive Oil Through System guarantees excellent oil circulation and supply to critical areas.

  • Model: LSD 183 L2
