R1 Concepts at Super Street After Dark 2025: A Night to Remember
When the sun goes down, the builds show up, and Super Street After Dark 2025 did not disappoint. Held in Long Beach, California, the event delivered high-energy vibes, stunning car culture, and serious brake heat thanks to the R1 Concepts crew and our incredible ambassadors.
We were proud to represent the R1 family with a packed booth, new builds, and some of our most passionate drivers and influencers. If you missed it, here’s a glimpse of what went down.
Meet the R1 Concepts Ambassadors Who Showed Out
Our booth wouldn’t have been the same without our incredible ambassadors. These drivers don’t just show up, they represent.
- Desmond (@ayyodes) rolled in with his Toyota GR86 looking clean and stopping hard with R1 GEO-Carbon Series Drilled & Slotted Brake Rotors and R1 PERFORMANCE Sport Series Brake Pads
- Chris (@2_illegal_wrx) brought the heat in his Subaru WRX, showing off serious street performance
- Daniel (@itsmedanimal) repped the compact game with his Honda Fit on a BBK (Big Brake Kit) setup
- And shoutout to Stephanie with her GT86 — a clean ride with a clean stop
Our ambassadors aren’t just car owners. They’re part of the R1 Concepts family, and they continue to push the culture forward, one build at a time.
Why Upgraded Brakes Matter at Meets Like These
Events like Super Street After Dark aren’t just about looking good. They’re about showing what your build is really made of. Whether you’re cruising the lot or planning your next track day, your braking system is just as important as what’s under the hood.
Upgrading to high-performance brake rotors and pads, like the R1 GEO-Carbon Series Drilled & Slotted Brake Rotors or R1 R1 PERFORMANCE Sport Series Brake Pads, gives you:
- Improved stopping power under high-stress conditions
- Better heat dissipation to avoid brake fade
- Sleek, aggressive looks to match your style
- Longer-lasting performance, whether for street or show
Pro Tip: Want your build to stand out and stay safe? Match our R1 GEO-Carbon Series Drilled & Slotted Brake Rotors with R1 PERFORMANCE Sport Series Brake Pads or R1 PERFORMANCE Track Series Brake Pads for a balanced upgrade that delivers both looks and power.
Vibes, Culture, and Community
As Chris (@2_illegal_wrx) put it:
“A lot of cars, a lot of great vendors, great crowd, and just really good culture.”
And he’s not wrong. From photographers and videographers to builders and fans, the entire scene felt like a true celebration of automotive passion. We saw everything from vintage classics to the latest builds, all parked, polished, and popping off under the lights.
Plus, we even had one of our team members showing true dedication by showing up to the event just two days after becoming a dad. That’s the R1 spirit.
