I have these exact springs with my cam which is .581 lift. I have never been to the track and baby the hell out of my car. I broke a spring at 1900 rpm's one night. After calling manley to see if I could buy indiviual springs they asked what lift I had and they told me straight up that the spring was only made for .575 but it was my call. I went ahead and just replaced the spring since the set was pretty new and haven't had another problem but that has only been about 2000 miles ago. Yes company's do sell this spring in a package deal with higher lifts than .575 hence they reason I used them, but that info was from the manufactor so you use your judgement. I would go with a higher rated spring.
