ATS & Across | Carbon LSDs & Clutch Systems
Redefining traction through advanced carbon-to-carbon engineering. At Chicane Australia, we provide specialised supply for the legendary ATS & Across range. Known for pioneering the world's most sophisticated Carbon LSDs and clutch systems, ATS offers a level of refinement and locking performance that traditional metal units simply cannot match. We facilitate fast sourcing and reliable delivery across Australia for drivers who demand elite-level traction control.
The Carbon Advantage & Product Range
ATS (Active Traction Service) has spent decades perfecting the use of carbon friction materials in high-performance drivetrains. Unlike traditional metal limited-slip differentials that can be noisy and aggressive on the street, ATS Carbon LSDs offer silent operation and a "smooth-to-lock" transition that provides superior stability during high-speed cornering and heavy braking. This technology significantly reduces "chatter" and drivetrain shock, making it the premier choice for dual-purpose street and track builds.
Our sourcing capabilities cover the flagship ATS & Across catalogue:
• Carbon LSDs (Silent & New Type-R): High-response differentials that provide incredible grip without the harsh mechanical noise of metal plates.
• Metal LSDs (Type-D): Traditional plate-style differentials engineered for maximum durability in professional drifting and drag racing.
• Carbon Clutches: Available in single, twin, and triple plate configurations for superior heat resistance and lighter pedal feel.
• Close Ratio Gear Sets: Precision-cut gears designed to optimise engine power bands for competitive circuit use.
Based on the Central Coast, NSW, we provide the technical support required to select the correct cam angles and plate configurations for your specific driveline goals. We work closely with our supply network to ensure your ATS & Across hardware is sourced and despatched with professional care and speed.
ATS & Across FAQ
Why choose a Carbon LSD over a Metal LSD?
An ATS Carbon LSD is virtually silent and offers a much smoother engagement. Because carbon-to-carbon friction is less affected by oil temperature, the locking force remains consistent throughout a long track session. It is the perfect solution for performance cars that are driven daily but require maximum traction on the weekend.
Do ATS Carbon LSDs require special oil?
Yes. To ensure the longevity and performance of the carbon plates, ATS recommends using their specific 85W-90 LSD oil. This oil is formulated to provide the correct friction coefficients for carbon-to-carbon contact.
How quickly can you supply ATS parts?
We utilise a direct-access supply chain to ensure the fastest possible lead times. Most ATS & Across differentials and clutches are sourced and despatched within a short timeframe for delivery across Australia.
