I'd be more concerned with teh caliper grinding needed then potholes... but fwiw I know people that have run them for years with no problems, others that hace had a problem almost immediately.

I think it has alot to do with how you drive, and the weight of the car. 3500 or less you're probably o.k., put them on a heavy 4100 lb car yeah you're asking for trouble

Looks awesome Sean! Definitely can't wait to see how it runs once it's tuned. Based on your previous driving I don't think you'll be disappointed with the numbers.
