Its my understanding that getting soft springs is the cause of the failure, if you hit something really hard and spring compresses all the way, the mounting point of the car will then take the rest of the force. I've been running fortune 500 coilovers for a while now, with stiffer springs and no issues (14k/12k) iirc.
