About RS-R (Racing Studio-R)
Racing Studio-R or RS-R began life as a wholesale distributor in Osaka, Japan. Unsatisfied with the quality of parts we were able to obtain, we started our own factory in September 1980.
In 1980 RS-R established our own research and manufacturing facility. Since then we have been offering high performance, high quality products unavailable anywhere else.
In 1998 we established distribution in America and the rs-r.com website. In 2011 we opened RS-R USA, our American subsidiary company. We are working to establish our brand and reputation in America.
We strive to create only high-performance/high-quality products that do not exist in offerings from other companies. We do that by actively embracing the trial of motorsports competition such as drag races, N1, sprints, drifting, rallies and Super GT.
Now we are in the 21st century, where the social climate and technological innovation changes quickly. We want to pursue what our customers need, and what is best for society. In order to do that, we are committed to develop and manufacture products that satisfy the demand of our consumers now and in the future - without forgetting our beginning through the best technology and service.
We take pride in our young energy, imagination and curiosity; our continuously questioning mind; and spirit of fortitude.
