While I'm guilty of buying stuff from summit I stay away from their "House brand" parts. It's a moral thing for me, I just don't want to buy something that is a nearly exact replica of a part made by a "regular" parts company.


In essence what Summit does is find a part that is selling quickly. They then copy the part as closely as they can and sell it under their brand for slightly less money. Thus, they are stealing the engineering from their parts suppliers. That practice leaves a bad taste in my mouth.
