Differential Avice Wanted
I tried searching and didn't find too much on diffs, but I'm looking for help and advise.
I've one other 86 with an upgraded diff, and I loved the feel. It had the Cusco diff in it. However I heard (somewhere) that it was just the same Toyota diff we already have with a handful of slightly upgraded pieces within the diff. Not entirely sold on $1500 for a few slightly upgraded pieces. Also will it eliminate, or cause problems for, my TCS? I wanted to ask for insight from anyone on here that might know more than me and can help educate me on what my final decision will be. Thnx in advance |

A diff wont effect you tcs because that is read at the wheel. Do you know what diff the csr had? Like 1. 1.5 or 2 way?

A good thread from @CSG Mike.
http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=68310 It explains very well the benefits of a proper clutch type LSD. A Cusco LSD is a clutch type and is not the same as we have in our cars in stock form. The stock differential in our cars is a Torsen LSD. I have the Tomei 2 way in my FRS and it is one of the best upgrades I have done. Definitely worth the money.
