Private Brands, The Identical, Cheaper Version Of The Big Brands. Post Them Up!
Okay. I'm creating this thread to collectively gather information and facts about the auto parts, private brands (aka generic) are identical as the big brands (aka brand names) which are made by the same manufacturer. Please, don't confuse these with the knock off parts. These private brands products are on average between 20% to 40% cheaper in price than the big brands. I happened to found out by accident about Sparco steering wheels are made by Sport Line. Then, I researched further to confirm both Sparco and Sport Line steering wheels are exactly similar constructed in every ways, down from raw materials to design from scratch. The only different is the stamp logos on the steering of the Sparco vs Sport Line. Price wise, Sparco L360 suede, is $230 shipped vs Sport Line competition 20126, is $165 shipped.
Please, share and post them up if you found the similar products.
Sparco L360 330mm Suede D Shape
Sport-Line Competition 20126 Suede D Shape

Theres a difference between paying for the brand, paying for quality, and paying for knock offs.
Brand doesnt always equate to better quality.
Same makers doesnt always equate to same quality.
Knock offs doesnt always equate to inferior product.

Here is another product I found, but I can't confirm whether Lifeline is the manufacturer that made Sparco quick releases? Lifeline quick release $250 shipped vs Sparco $330 shipped new.

Centric bought Stoptech, so they are kind of merge together. However, Stoptech is still operate and design their own parts in house.

Depending on what you search for on Amazon, retailers tend to think one is worth more than the other by name. Same part # regardless though.
