Most of the Jeg's stuff that has their name on it are at least decent.

Jegs is better, they are all I use. They have better prices than summit, and they shop faster. I have seen guys using their stuff all the time. Must be good. I would trust anything with their name on it.

95% of the parts for my car have come from them. check out my site and you will get an idea of how many "JEGS" boxes I have recieved. Lets just say the mail man is curiouse about when the car will be done. hehe

I'm not sure if I'd agree with that or not. I had bought from both of them for years and never had a problem with either one until Jeg's switched to Fed Ex and lost two of my packages within a 6 month period. I called Jegs and ask if they could give me the option of using UPS with them and they said no, so I told them that all my future orders would have to go to Summit. It's not really Jeg's fault for the package getting lost, but I can tell you that they did do everything right to solve the problem.

I have had the opposites since Jegs switched to fed ex. My stuff actually arrives on time or early, and the boxes don't look like a forklift ran over them.

I use jegs more so, than others, such as summit. It is usually easyier to talk to someone, summit leaves me on hold to long.

As for the jegs brand stuff, alot of it is name brand just relabeled.

I ordered an adj. prop valve from them a couple years ago. It had a jegs package, but on the bottom of the vavle it had Wilwood ingraved in it.

I have their 1 piece DSL on my car and it is very nice. Running a Jegster 8 point Roll bar in our Bel Air and it fits nicer than the other I have seen too.

Jegs never steers me wrong. They usually know what they are talking about on the phone and all my parts get to me early. Ive never had a box from them that was more than a week after i ordered it.

they are both great companies that have great products and great service. i wouldnt hesitate to use either of them and have bought numerous Jegs and summit brand products with no problems. all of "their" products are only theirs because they slap teir names on them. theyre made by other companies
