You can check out www.ground-control.com
They have adjustable coil spring kits. I didn't see anything for early
vws, but I called them one time and the guy said that they can cross
reference the strut diameter and the coil spring size with another make.
They are pretty nice. I had them on my datsun 510. I am sure there are
other companies you could check out. At ground control its all bolt in
or you can weld it in.
