R1 Racing????????

Does anybody know if R1 has a website or where this pic came from.I got it from somebody in this forum because I said I was looking for new brakes.These are so hot (stage 3),2 piece rotors and 6 piston calipers should have amazing stopping power.Any help is appreciated.

Nah, I think they're different than the R1 Racing Brake kits.

Besides the wheels HP Racing calls "racing" wheels look much too heavy to be considered for competition use--although I did like the "Lightning"--I have a soft spot for mesh wheel centers

Looks the same to me down to every hole and slot, minus the logo script - or maybe I'm just getting old....

Actually I remember reading in one of the magazines that the Japanese company markets it as HPracing here in the states or sumthin.

Drilled and slotted rotors...multiple anodized colors...looks more like show rather than performance...

Hey Guys

Is it me or are those calipers sized a little small for those rotors. The calipers only cover about 60% of the rotors swept width.
