Technically speaking. The terms '1 way', '1.5 way' and '2 way' can only be used to describe a clutch/plated LSD.
A plated mechanical LSD is a pretty aggressive diff. I have a Cusco RS 1.5w set to max lock and max preload, and its tight. Its a massive step up from a VLSD. It feels real good round corners, but makes the car quite tail happy. But its fairly 'predictable', when it wants to step out. (Having a spec C quickrack really helps here, when it wants to go, you can get a bit of correction in real easily). Even though its supposed to be a 1.5w, you can still really feel it under decel too. Probs because i have it set up at max inside.
I actually have an 06 sti plated r180 in the shed, and my current diff started life as an 07 torsen. But i never even tried either of the stock STi LSDs. I just went straight to the Cusco when i swapped the drivetrain. So i cant compare directly.
