    Mazda RX-8 / MX-5 NB – Super / Fuji LSD Upgrade Kits

    Fix OEM cone failures • 4× stronger locking • Street, track & drift ready

    The Mazda RX-8 and Mazda MX-5 NB are true driver’s cars, but their factory Limited Slip Differentials can share one major weakness: small friction cones pushed by weak springs. In the Mazda RX-8 Super LSD and selected Mazda MX-5 NB Fuji LSD units, these cones can wear or break, causing loss of traction, weak preload and inconsistent locking.

    RacingDiffs developed dedicated upgrade kits for these LSD types, replacing the fragile cone design with a proper clutch-based performance solution. Each variant is tailored to the exact dimensions of its LSD unit, so please select the correct version for your application.

    Kit Variants – RX-8 Super LSD / MX-5 NB Fuji LSD
    • Mazda RX-8 – Super LSD Upgrade Kit: Dedicated kit designed specifically for the RX-8 factory Super LSD carrier.
    • Mazda MX-5 NB – Fuji LSD Upgrade Kit: Dedicated kit designed specifically for the MX-5 NB factory Fuji LSD carrier.

    Important: RX-8 and MX-5 NB versions are similar in concept, but they are not the same kit. Always choose the correct variant before ordering.

    How the RacingDiffs Upgrade Fixes the OEM Weakness

    The OEM Super / Fuji LSD design uses small friction cones behind the spider gears, preloaded by relatively weak springs. These cones are the Achilles’ heel of the design – they:

    • Wear quickly or break, even on low-mileage cars
    • Cause weak or inconsistent locking
    • Reduce traction during corner exit, drift initiation and hard driving
    • Make the car feel unpredictable when you need grip the most

    Our upgrade removes the weak cone-based friction system and replaces it with proper clutch plates, stronger springs and preload shims, turning the OEM LSD into a more reliable, performance-oriented unit.

    What’s Included in Each Kit
    • High-performance clutch plates – replace fragile OEM friction cones
    • Precision preload shims – help set the correct locking force
    • 4× stronger springs – dramatically increase clamping and response
    • All parts sized specifically for either RX-8 Super LSD or MX-5 NB Fuji LSD

    The result is up to 4× better performance and vastly improved reliability compared to the stock cone-based design.
