Yes, they should last but remember, this program is about high school kids with hammers. Proper installation (no inner race pressure) and support pressure is a big part of this. ALSO TEAM STOP APPLYING SO MUCH SIDE LOAD TO YOUR CYLINDERS, and if you do pack 4 spares.
racecars don't last long, if your cim motor can outlast a Civic then your prolly not pushing it to is max output
