Doesn't matter who it's made by. Just think of all of the salted roads in snowy areas, or the corrosion-inducing (moist) air in Texas or Florida.
If they do stand by their products though, by all means go for them. You can get replacements when the time comes.

I agree that daily driving your car under any circumstances puts a lot of wear and tear on it. Even with completely stock bushings and crap (why you think they suck so much after 13 years). I think that's just from the sheer mileage and (like you said) lack of care most people will put towards their cars.
BUT I do not agree that a RUCA should be a track-only piece! THat's bullshit! And to make an excuse for a crappy product by saying it should only be used on the street is not cool either. With DECENT maintenance, a good product will last for a very long time. I have had my SPL RUCAs for ~3 years now. 2.5 of those years the car was daily driver. ANd i would not take my wheel off and clean the ruca or anything special like lubing it up or anything like that. I didn't have time, shit man it was my daily driver. Now that its my track car, I can take better care of it and you know what, the RUCAs are solid, no threads are corroded or stripped, the balljoint is not binding, and it rotates smoothly.
