ATS Carbon LSD

The superior carbon technology of ATS &ACROSS
The world most advanced LSD


Developed for Formula Nippon. Absolute minimum mechanical noise and superb maintenance of initial torque. Used for Formula Nippon since the season of 2001. Now available for FR, MR cars. A must item to win the races.

1) Its initial torque is moderately set and the initial torque level lasts much longer than the metal LSD, but the locking performance is as strong as the metal.
2) Carbon LSD has a mild transitional characteristic which enable the driver to start acceleration earlier than the metal LSD.
3) Gentle transition to locking also provides a better acceleration control at the apex point.
4) With ATS LSD oil, the noise is unnoticeable.

Carbon composite LSD development background
          Formula Nippon - the ultimate battle ground for the Japanese formula car racing. The LSD for formula cars requires the highest standard. Effectiveness, durability, and controllability - in every respect it has to be the best. In addition, due to the dry sump method used for formula car, LSD operates with only tiny scattered oil particles. A normal iron plates cannot achieve its objectives in the race under these conditions.
          ATS took this challenge and finally after long research and development has released its carbon LSD for formula racing this season (2001). A higher friction coefficient and heat resistance of ATS carbon composite disk leads to the revolutionary performance. ATS' carbon LSD maintains its initial torque setting and locking ratio under the severest formula car racing condition.
          Applied this technology beyond formula car racing, ATS carbon LSD bring you unparalleled durability and maintenance of initial torque under any driving condition without mechanical noise usually associated with a mechanical LSD.

Note: ATS recommends our metal LSD for FF cars, drag racing, & drifting competition.

** It is very important that ATS LSD oil be used with ATS LSD.

Our tests in Japan by several professional drivers shows the metal LSD scores a slightly better laptime than the carbon LSD for FF cars. However, for a driver who would like to have a mild LSD with little noise (with ATS LSD oil, there is little chattering or cranking noise), ATS will make a carbon LSD for your FF car. The application is limited to the models of metal LSD.
