Cusco LSD 453 C Limited Slip Differential

When it comes to enhancing your vehicle's performance, Cusco has established itself as a trusted name in the automotive aftermarket industry. Known for their high-quality suspension components, braces, and more, Cusco is dedicated to providing products that improve your driving experience. Their LSD 453 C Limited Slip Differential is no exception, designed specifically for 2008+ Mitsubishi Evolution X models equipped with Sportronic Shift Transmission and ADC.

Key Features

  • Optimal Traction: The Cusco LSD 453 C delivers exceptional traction, allowing you to maintain control during acceleration and cornering.
  • Customizable Settings: With the ability to choose between 2 of 3 settings, you can easily adjust the differential to meet your driving style. The initial setting is a 1-Way LSD, with the option to switch to a 1.5-Way.
  • Type RS Technology: The Type RS features springs that absorb initial torque, providing a smoother response compared to the Type MZ. This means less friction and more efficient power transfer to the ground.
  • Durability and Longevity: The low initial torque reduces power loss and minimizes wear on the clutch plates, leading to improved durability and less frequent oil changes. Special precision springs in the pressure plate ensure stable operation.
  • Versatile Performance: Ideal for both drag racing and drifting, the Type RS responds quickly to pedal inputs, transferring power without slipping.

Benefits of Upgrading to Cusco LSD 453 C

Upgrading to the Cusco LSD 453 C can significantly improve your vehicle's handling and performance compared to factory components. The enhanced traction and customizable settings allow for a more tailored driving experience, whether you're on the track or navigating through tight corners on the street. The lower friction and improved durability mean you can enjoy a smoother ride with less maintenance hassle.

Recommended Setups

Cusco suggests the following LSD configurations based on your drivetrain:

  • 1-Way LSD: Perfect for front-wheel-drive and AWD front axle vehicles, activating under acceleration and functioning as a true LSD when the throttle is off.
  • 1.5-Way LSD: Ideal for those looking to reduce under-steer, this option activates under acceleration with less resistance during deceleration.
  • 2-Way LSD: Best suited for rear-wheel-drive and AWD rear axle cars, this option activates during both acceleration and deceleration, perfect for aggressive driving and drifting.

Specifications

  • Fitment: 2008+ Mitsubishi Evolution X models with Sportronic Shift Transmission and ADC
  • Initial Setting: 1-Way (changeable to 1.5-Way)
