The R-1 had the STIFFEST shocks, Z rated tires, as opposed to v rated on others , deleted weight increasing items like the sunroof and cruise control, had lighter seats w/ hi grip suede like fabric, also the larger front lip spoiler and rear wing were std equip not optional. Latter for the 94 model year the R-1 was changed to R-2 that used slightly softer (than R-1) shocks.

R-spec models also had two oil coolers (only one on base, touring and PEP), and a front strut tower bar.
