Probe has been around awhile. They used to be exclusive to Fords but have branched out in the past couple of years.

The ones I have seen look like good pieces. You HAVE to have them in hand when you bore a block for them. The clearance specs for them often call for the bore to be over the usual overbore (.032", for example). It depends on the application.

Good stuff. The owners of Probe have a ton of experience in the piston business from being at Ross pistons. Both Mark and Chris have done what it takes to make a nice product.
