ATS Carbon LSD

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

ATS&ACROSS Carbon 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 FF, 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.
           "The durability is unparalleled. It is proven by the 24hours endurance races"

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.    No unwanted chattering noise associated with a metal LSD.
5) Used by many top rated tuners for their time trial cars and the results shows the carbon LSD's superiority..

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.

Did you know -
ATS carbon LSD is offered as an option from DTEC. DTEC is a dealer performance division at Kanagawa Toyota. Our LSD's super performance and quietness are the reason Toyota chose it as an option along with their own TRD brand. We are very glad to see Toyota acknodege the performnace of our products.        DTEC home page (sorry Japanese only) http://www.dtec.jp/

Note: ATS recommends our metal LSD for 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 show the preference of he metal LSD over the carbon LSD for FF cars by the margin of 7 to 3.. However, the popularity of the carbon LSD for FF cars are rising every year and our current view is that the carbon LSD is as effective as the metal LSD for roadracing with FF cars. If you also drive on the street, ATS recommends the carbon LSD.
