Default Double Valve Spring Question

Does anyone make Double Valve Springs that don't require the head to be machined? I'm currently running the manley springs with my .581 lift cam with no problems. The springs are good to .600. I'm thinking about changing out cams to a .598 lift. So I would like to get a set of double springs so if one decides to go. I won't bend or break the valve.

Thanks

These are what I have and they are awsome. I actually have the REV 7716 (cadmium plated) ones because the REV 1116's were out of stock. Be sure to ask for a new set of valve stem seals. You will have to remove your old ones to install the new hardened seats that come with the spring kit. LGM is great to work with.
