Default Coilolvers that retain leaf spring?

I recently found out that eibach discontinued their coilovers that maintain use of the leaf springs. Are there any other companies that make a similar kit that retains the leafs? I'm just paranoid about putting stress on the shock mounts on my steel frame c6.

Just buy a set from a company that has a good reputation and can ease your worries about the installation.

I would not worry about the shock mounts, seems you'd be defeating the purpose running could and stock leafs
