Proforged?

[charlie45]

Anyone here familiar with Proforged???

I'm looking into a fast-ratio pitman and idler, and found these on summit:

Most people have the unit from Firm Feel, at the end of the day its probably all manufactured at the same place in China...

Besides costing $100 less than the Firm Feel or Hotchkis units, I can't tell much of a difference...

nobody here familiar with this brand

100 bucks less than Hotchkis and Firm Feel Fast-Ratio units, I can't imagine that there is a hell a lot of proprietary technology in these units that would justify the price difference...

Any thoughts/ feedback would be appreciated...

I agree Charlie, thanks for finding them,
They look alright to me also,
to the guys on here who know, ? Fast ratio, how many less turns lock to lock, straight line steering ? How much do these improve things

I had never heard of these parts until this thread.  However, a quick google search shows that the brand x guys have been using this stuff for a while (used to go by Power Performance but changed the company name).  The reviews have been positive and the owner seems to be good guy.  They have  million mile warranty (exceptions for off roding, etc) and their customer service seems to be top-notch.  Yet again, I have never heard of or used Proforged, this is what I have gathered from various reviews.  However, all that said, I will definitely be looking into their parts when I get to putting mine back together.
