Remember reading about swapping springs and struts from a Jetta wagon or sportwagon for a stiffer suspension. I believe as early as an 04 will swap?

Any info on year, part number, and color of the dots on the springs will help. I believe there were two or three different for colors for different spring rates. Any info on color or spring rate/weight would be great.

For reference I'm looking to tow an enclosed trailer 5x8 roughly with as much as two motorcycles. Not sure on trailer weight but bikes combined would be no more than 1000lbs
