I've blown a TOP shock cap off. You need to physically rip the bottom one off, can't do it with hydraulic pressure. So almost unheard of. I've done a couple of front top caps in ~9 months of ownership. And i think he means slipper pads, not plates. I think.

I've *had* to change the RF toe block (the ball pulls through the plastic one eventually), the steering plate (got a gunnel weighted one) and a few other assorted weights. Anything else is really just bling or marginal gains. If you crash a lot, or drive on a "vigorous" track, the RPM ball cups/associated balls are useful.
