LSD 450 C15 Limited-Slip Differential Gear

The LSD 450 C15 is a top-of-the-line Limited-Slip Differential (LSD) designed to enhance your vehicle’s performance by improving traction and handling. Unlike standard open differentials, which can allow wheels to spin freely, the LSD 450 C15 ensures that power is effectively transferred to the road, even in challenging conditions.

Key Features

  • 1.5 Way Configuration: This LSD features a 1-way setting at 45 degrees and a default 1.5-way setting at 45/15 degrees, providing the perfect balance of locking and slipping to suit various driving styles.
  • Side Bearing Included: Comes complete with a side bearing for the Active Center Differential (ACD) side (Replacement Side Bearing Part # LSD 449 SB), ensuring a seamless fit and function.
  • Initial Pre-Load: The initial pre-load is set between 3-5 kg using 8 out of 12 springs, allowing for customizable performance based on your driving needs.

Benefits of Upgrading to LSD 450 C15

Upgrading to the LSD 450 C15 can significantly improve your vehicle's handling and traction compared to factory components. This LSD minimizes wheel spin during acceleration and cornering, which is especially beneficial on slippery or uneven surfaces. With the ability to fine-tune the locking mechanism, drivers can achieve a more responsive and controlled driving experience, tailored to their specific motorsport requirements.
