Default Adjust monospring stiffness?

I've read on some places that the stiffness of a composite monospring can be adjusted somehow. What I couldn't find is how to do it.
I'm asking in the context of the VB&P 360 spring that I will be installing.

I know that the height can indeed be adjusted through the spring bolts, but the stiffness? How can that be done? The only thing I can think of is possibly moving the bracket further apart from the differential but can't find any reference to it.

Any clues anyone?

If you want to adjust your ride stiffness, you can do it with shocks, like QA-1 adjustables. They are highly recommended for a composite rear spring. I have them on mine and you can go from soft to teeth jarring hard.
