Thinking of getting the Cusco RS 2way LSD. I know that the OEM Torsen is a very good LSD, but i was hoping to minimize oversteer when i step on the gas or i let it, as i turn.

Correct me if i am wrong, the Torsen works with rings and the Cusco with discs. I track the car 2-3 times per year and mostly drive it on mountain twisty roads.

Will i notice any gains when turning the car or will it be a waste of money?
Any experience?

 

u wanna minimize oversteer when stepping on the gas then get sticky rear tyres. by getting a 2 way you are effectively almost going full lock on the rear. you will get MORE oversteer it will just be very preditable and progressive.

 

Sounds like you need a 1.5 way LSD if you're looking for an upgrade...

I have a KAAZ 1.5way clutch type LSD for sale cheap...needs a rebuild though.

 

What tires are you running?
OEM Bridgestone S-02's?
What allignment do you have?
UK-spec?

I don't know about the Cusco but the Torsen works with gears.
The beauty of those gears is that they work for you when you need them and not when you don't.

 

My tires are Goodyear F1 DS-G3, 17 inch '04 model,215/45-17,245/40-17, standart allignment, European specs and recently i got the Tein Monoflex with EDFC on.

My gears (Ricks 4.56) arrived today with yellow box and at the end of the month my Cusco sway bars, x-brace, tie bar and front strut bar.

Since i will open the diff to put the gears in and i am to fully upgrade the handling of the car (hope to), am thinking also for an another (perhaps better?) LSD. From what i read our Torsen is up to its task and the differences do not match up the 1.000
