Cusco HBD 167 A Hybrid 1-Way Limited Slip Differential

The Cusco HBD 167 A is a Hybrid type limited slip differential designed to combine the best characteristics of Cusco's Type MZ and Type RS models, optimized for automatic transmissions and street driving applications. This 1-way LSD features the lowest initial torque of all Cusco differentials due to its larger diameter coil spring design, providing a smooth and refined driving experience ideal for daily use.

Key Features:

• Hybrid construction combines outer cone and inner coil spring design for optimal performance
• Super-low initial torque setting enables smooth turning when LSD is not activated
• Progressive lockup system provides gradual engagement for enhanced stability and traction
• 1-way design activates under acceleration, functions as open differential during deceleration
• High-tension chrome molybdenum steel housing and gears for competition-grade durability
• Exclusive radially-cut clutch plate grooves for improved oil flow and efficiency
• Large oil windows for increased circulation and cooling
• Adjustable locking characteristics through clutch plate configuration
• Polished pressure ring contact surfaces for even clutch plate engagement
• Noise-free operation without uncomfortable vibration during street driving

Design Benefits:

The Hybrid type uses a unique coil spring activation system where opposing pressures work against each other to engage the differential. The activation pressure is applied in the same direction as the initial torque, allowing for smoother and quicker clutch plate engagement even with low initial torque settings. This design is particularly well-suited for vehicles with automatic transmissions and drivers who prioritize street comfort without sacrificing performance capabilities.

Construction Quality:

Built to Cusco's competition-proven standards, the HBD 167 A features billet chrome-molybdenum case construction with adjust plates and single-position adjust cam. Every component is manufactured in-house at Cusco's ISO 9001 certified facility in Japan, ensuring strict quality control and consistent performance. The differential incorporates Cusco's Oil Through System for optimal lubrication when used with Cusco LSD oil.

Performance Applications:

Ideal for street performance, highway driving, and spirited driving on winding roads. Provides enhanced traction on slippery surfaces including rain, snow, and ice while maintaining comfortable daily driving characteristics. The low preload design eliminates the harshness often associated with mechanical limited slip differentials, making it perfect for both daily commutes and weekend enthusiast driving.
