Until two years ago, all of their offerings were made to spec. So for most of the course of Eminence's existence, there was no "house label" made by them. When they fill a custom order, they use existing motors and manipulate mass and suspension properties to obtain the desired specs. It's still fundamentally the same as their other "Greek series" parts.

They make good stuff for the money, but not something you should consider superior to what is available off the shelf, from any distributor you choose.
