At Proforged, performance is proven in the testing laboratory long before it is exposed to real-world durability testing. New products are designed using the latest CAD programs and prototypes are validated through hardness testing, microstructure analysis, surface finish examination and roundess testing. We ensure application suitability through extensive tensile and elasticity strength testing, stud pullout testing, stud impact testing, salt spray tests, and cycle testing for durability.

The result is a finished product that is superiorly strong, durable, and free of defects - exactly what today's performance enthusiast demands.

We follow a very simple design philosophy: we develop the strongest, most durable part possible given the constraints of the application's packaging. Starting with failed samples of OE and aftermarket units, we analyze the existing design for flaws and frequent areas of failure. Through the use of superior quality materials, tighter tolerances, larger wear surfaces, or unique construction, we develop a first article prototype, followed by numerous rounds of testing and revision. We frequently revisit designs after they've been in the field to determine if further enhancements can be made. This process - often months long - yields a product that is built to a higher standard to deliver performance and durability well beyond the demands of the end user.
