Very good quality. I use Probe pistons in many of my hot street/strip type motors. Best bang for the buck in BBC pistons.

First used Probe srs pistons in a 454 BBC. Liked them well enough to use them in several friend's SBC engines. One set came w/a 'kit', the others were bought by my recommendation. About 100g lighter than a TRW/Speed Pro.
