Default Spring rate identification from part #s

Hey guys, quick question.

I have a set of silkroad coilovers, and after putting them in the car (EG hatch) they feel really wack compared to previous setups i have run. They are just a temporary setup and I dont intend on keeping them, but id like to know what rates the springs are. The rear feels too stiff, and the front feels too soft.

The numbers on the springs are:
Front: 0211 SRID63K16/150
Rear: S63-120-200



Can anyone quickly identify the rates of these springs? kg/mm would be nice.

Thanks!

To be perfectly honest I don't even know what model they are, no markings.

They certainly feel stiffer than other setups I have run that were similar to 10/8 though, so not sure.

If I had to guess I would say they are both 2.5" diameter springs hence the 63 in both numbers and the fronts are 16kg/mm in 150mm length and the rears are 12kg/mm and 200mm length. Just guessing though.

Thanks Tom . I had guessed 16/12 too but Im not familiar with seeing rates written as they are on these springs.

Was just wondering if those numbers meant anything obvious to anyone more clued up with reading spring rates.
