I haven't seen very many of these (of any brand) caliper springs break, a few but it's rare. What I have seen are springs that have lost their springiness, often enough. There was a period (I suspect more then a production batch) when Dia Compe calipers suffered from this (early 1980s). We would rebend the springs to retain pad retraction function. Andy
