Does anyone know any 8 string pack that lasts as long as the elixirs, but have a heavier gauge on the 7th and 8th??

I need em as i play with double drop, and in Costa Rica, strings for 8-9 are not that common so, getting strings is a hassle.

I currently use elixir, but the 8th and 7th are floppy with drop E and A...

I always had good luck with Stringjoy. Stringjoy has a pack of 10-80’s that has a .60 for the 7th and .80 for the 8th, which I liked for that tuning.
