LSD 177 K15 Limited-Slip Differential Gear

The LSD 177 K15 Limited-Slip Differential (LSD) is a game-changer for your vehicle's performance, especially if you're looking to boost traction and handling on the road or track. Unlike standard open differentials that can leave you spinning your wheels, the LSD 177 K15 ensures that power is effectively transferred to the ground, regardless of the driving conditions.

Key Features

  • 1.5 Way Locking Mechanism: This system allows for a controlled locking effect, providing the right amount of grip when you need it while still allowing for smooth cornering.
  • Versatile Fitment: Compatible with Mazda Miata (NA2 and NB) models equipped with 1.8L engines, whether you have an OEM Open Differential or a Torsen Differential from 1994 to 2005.
  • Adjustable Performance: Fine-tune the locking characteristics to suit your driving style and conditions, ensuring optimal performance on various surfaces.

Benefits of Upgrading from Factory Components

Upgrading to the LSD 177 K15 not only enhances traction but also significantly improves your vehicle's overall handling. The factory components often struggle to provide the necessary grip during aggressive driving or challenging conditions. With the LSD 177 K15, you can expect:

  • Improved Power Distribution: The LSD minimizes wheel spin, allowing for better acceleration out of corners.
  • Enhanced Stability: Experience greater control and stability, especially during high-speed maneuvers.
  • Customizable Settings: Tailor the locking mechanism to meet your specific driving needs, whether on the track or the street.

  • Type: 1.5 way (with options for 2 way)
