LSD 165 L2 Limited-Slip Differential

The LSD 165 L2 is a top-tier Limited-Slip Differential (LSD) designed to enhance your vehicle's performance on the road and track. Unlike standard open differentials, which allow for rotational differences between the inside and outside wheels, the LSD 165 L2 provides superior power transfer to the wheels that need it most. This is particularly crucial in motorsport applications where traction is vital for performance.

Key Features

  • 2-Way Locking Mechanism: Offers both 1.5 and 2-way locking options, allowing for customization based on driving style and conditions.
  • Precision Engineering: Designed with a focus on minimizing compromises, ensuring that the LSD locks when necessary and releases when optimal.
  • Tunable Performance: Multiple configurations allow for adjustments in locking strength and responsiveness, catering to a wide range of motorsport needs.

Benefits of the LSD 165 L2

By upgrading to the LSD 165 L2, you can expect significant improvements over factory components. This differential minimizes 'free-wheeling' of slipping or airborne wheels, effectively maximizing power transfer to the ground. Whether you're navigating tight corners or accelerating out of a turn, the LSD 165 L2 ensures that your vehicle maintains grip and stability, enhancing both handling and overall performance.
