I can't wait for my GR86 to be delivered! I'm thinking of changing the LSD as my first mod, and I am torn between the OS Giken Superlock and the Cusco Type RS. Any recommendations? OS Giken's LSD was made for the last gen 86/BRZ. They claim it was oversized for the output of FA20, and it would also work in the new gen cars. For Cusco, there is a Type RS for the new GR86/BRZ now. However, I've heard from forums that with Cusco, you have to periodically take it apart to maintain it, whereas for OS Giken, it basically lasts just as long and operates as smoothly as the OEM differential. Again, I would love some recommendations now. Thank you~

In terms of performance, cusco lsd and yeah you need regular service since it is fully clutch pack diff. But for low cost fun i think os giken lsd is enough eventho it wont shows close potential if compare with cusco. For the gr yaris also they give good rating for the cusco lsd installed in. Hope this help you to make decision for both lsd.

@@sorrsham6918 But OS Giken is also a full clutch type diff, just like the Cusco. And OS Giken also allows you to configure the amount of preload and rate of lock up. And do you know how regularly you have to service the Cusco diff?

What benefit do you get from changing your LSD?

@@supraJZA80s **TLDR warning ahead** GE86/BRZ come with Torsen LSD as standard, but I’d like to change it to a clutch type LSD. Clutch type LSD is better because it can fully lock up the inside (less traction and loaded) wheel, enabling the power from the engine to mostly flow to the outside, more loaded wheel to power you out of a corner. Torsen LSD also allows the outside wheel to receive more power than the inside wheel, but it can’t fully lock up the inside wheel by design. So if the inside wheel starts to lose traction, the inside wheel may spin freely, and Torsen LSD acts more like an open differential - the car can’t power out of corner as fast, and the car can start to understeer. Their differences are also apparent in snow and on surfaces with uneven traction.
