Probe Industries Pistons

Anyone ever used them? They have really cheap overstock ones on ebay at the moment. link here... From a quick search the Camaro and Mustang communities have been using them for years and most love them. Seems as if they would be a good pick up for forged pistons...

They seem to be a legit company with real products, an actual web site, and do real testing. I would say the fact that they're sold on eBay is irrelevant. I bought my strut bar for my Corolla off eBay. It was a DC Sports model that I got on a smokin' deal. It came in the original box with the original hardware and instructions. It wasn't made out of pasta painted to look like a DC strut bar or anything.

tl;dr - Saying all things bought from eBay are cheap knockoffs or fakes is stupid.

i meant ebay brands obviously. i have never heard of this brand of pistons before. if they're legit great, if they're some ebay knockoff i would stay away. that's all i was getting at.

if you two were too stupid to see that's what i was saying i'm not sure what else TO say.

I would never buy an off brand from eBay unless it was a lightbulb. But just because I have never heard of it, I'm not going to dismiss it, hell until I started coming here I never heard of half the companies and independent guys whose nuts we all swing from on this site, hence my research. A quick search on here yielded few results but Google came up with alot of muscle car stuff but nothing on the j cars. Just looking for someone with experience to share

Make sure that is our wrist pin diameter and not the lsj wrist pin.

Those are weird, they have a 22.3mm wrist pin. Which is different from both the lsj and the l61. Though they have the l61 engine specs for everything else. You need to call them.
