Same springs as the 16v Vw stuff, used in 4000q too for that matter, not 
a rare item. Autotech in Cali does a good set of performance springs, 
and will package for 5cyl applications. In terms of an OE replacement, 
grab some off your favorite parts head, you'd have to convince me you 
need *new* ones, I can't say I've seen two go bad in 15yrs.
