I have a Rockwell hardness tester I could check some coil stops on. But if they are not consistently bad, it won't help much unless I actually have a bad one.

This has been an issue for years....Stern is printing money right now, and spending time to fix this issue isn't really a priority to them.

The problem is they are not peened onto the bracket hard enough. The displaced metal that is mushroomed by the peening process is too light, and that thin amount of metal is giving way abnormally fast.
