As your driving improves your bodies will last longer. Go for a Proline Mazda 6 - works well on your car.

On the caster block issue, I don't know what to say. The only other thing I can think of is that the king pin screws are not going in straight enough and causing problems. I've only broke a couple blocks in 2 years and had some very heavy hits. Most of the time if I've broke a block, I've killed an arm and maybe more. Do you have a P-dub front bumper. If not, that may help. They take a lot more impact than the stock bumper.
As for bodies, like heavy said, the better you get at driving, the longer your bodies will last. I usually go through bodies in 3-4 months. But I stop running them long before they're completely done. (although I killed a brand new Stratus 3.0 that Lynn had just painted a couple of months ago.
) Small cracks and scratches are no big deal. I like the Mazda a lot right now. It seems to flow through the corners the best and seems balanced better than anything else. Most of the other bodies either have tons of steering, or not enough.

We are still having a lot of trouble with the UJ pins coming out or breaking. So much so that I am running old plastic Mi2 ones on the rear of my car at the moment - don't want to run them on the front as I will lose the ability to run the slightly narrower front track).
Anyone else having problems with the UJ pins and grub screws etc or is there an easy fix that I don't know about yet. (I know about checking that the thread actually goes through far enough for the grub screw to actually tighten on the pin)

I only broke that pin once. I have switched back to the Worlds CVDs in the front and have had no problem. The shank on them is a little longer though and you may need to ream out the hole on the wheel or the the white wheel shim if you're running those.

The pins are a know issues. If any one has broken CVD pins on their EC in the USA call Schumacher USA and we will send you a new CVD rebuild kit that will eliminate the problem.
If you have a broken pin in CVD's that have the set screw lock tighted so it won't come out we will send you a replacement set of CVD's.
If you have this problem outside of the US contact your distributor.
