you are 100% right. as long as you arnt too hard on it it will last for a while. mine is very faint woo woo'ing right now and i havnt taken it back to the track in fear or making it worse. had a friend who ran one pass on an auto bolt on z28 with slicks, and it fucked em up bad. youcould hear it woo woo'ing from accross town

I'm really not sure. I think you will just have to break it to find out. Take it apart before you break it and find signs of ware? I rather just have the fun in breaking it!
