Design & Manufacturing

Our plate-type limited-slip differentials are manufactured from FORGED Nickel-Chromoly steel and subjected to advanced heat treatments such as Super Sub-Zero / Cryogenic treatment.

In addition, all internal components undergo shot peening and WPC treatment, significantly improving:

• Core and surface strength
• Wear resistance
• Fatigue life

The use of high-strength materials, combined with optimized internal geometry 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 exceptional durability and stable, predictable performance, typically requiring no servicing during the first ~2,000 km of special stages under normal competition use.

Technical Specifications

Plate-type LSD with 16 friction plates
→ The only product on the market with this configuration

• Stable preload values, even during endurance racing
• All our plated LSDs feature dual ramp bodies.
• Factory ramp configuration for this application: 35 / 67.5 & 45 / 60
• Other ramp angles are available upon request.

Included Components

• Ring gear / crown wheel bolts made of high-tensile steel grade 12.9 (included free of charge)
• Additional thicker Belleville / conical washer, allowing users to experiment with higher preload settings

Warranty

As proof of our quality and reliability, we offer a 1-year motorsport warranty covering material and manufacturing defects across our full range of plate-type LSDs.

Important Reminder – Gear Oil

• For correct operation and maximum service life, we strongly recommend the use of LS (Limited Slip) gear oils specifically formulated for plate-type LSDs.
• Typical recommended viscosity: SAE 75W-140 LS
• Only oils with LS specification must be used when a plate-type LSD is installed
• It is also recommended to pre-lubricate the LSD with gear oil during gearbox assembly.

⚠️ Note: Although an anti-corrosion oil is applied during factory assembly, it does not provide lubrication.

Recommendation:

Plate-type LSDs are recommended for competition use only.
