Design & Manufacturing
Our plate-type LSDs are manufactured from FORGED Nickel-Chromoly steel and subjected to advanced heat treatments such as Super Sub-Zero / Cryogenic treatment.
Additionally, all critical components undergo shot peening and WPC treatment, significantly improving:
- Core and surface strength
- Wear resistance
- Fatigue life
The use of high-strength forged material, combined with an optimized internal design featuring large windows and multiple oil holes, results in:
- Reduced internal friction
- Improved internal lubrication
- Lower overall weight
- Enhanced thermal stability
As a result, our LSDs deliver stable and predictable performance with exceptional durability, typically requiring no servicing during the first ~2,000 km of special stages under normal competition use.

Warranty
As proof of our quality and reliability, we offer a 1-year motorsport warranty covering material or manufacturing defects across our full range of plate-type LSDs.
Important Reminder – DSG Gear Oil
For DSG transmissions, we recommend:
- Retaining the OEM-specified DSG gear oil
- Adding a Limited-Slip (LS) additive to ensure full compatibility with the dual-clutch system while providing proper lubrication for the plate-type LSD
It is also advisable to pre-lubricate the LSD with gear oil during installation.
⚠️ Note: Although an anti-corrosion oil is applied during factory assembly, it does not provide lubrication.
