Default Reading GC springs, plz help.

I have a GC set up, they are Eibach springs. My front srpings say this on the side of them:

GC200.64.67

and the rear springs say:

0800.250.0425

Now, I know the rear number means, 8ich length, 2.5 inch ID, and 425 Lbs/inch. But what the heck does CG200.64.67 mean on the front? I looked all over the front springs and this was the only number shown on them. Anyone know how to read this? It should be around 375ish lbs/inch, or at least that's what I orderd back when I 1st got them a few years back.

thanks for any help!

the numbers you are looking for are 25.4(2.54cm=1inch) and 5.6(56 i forgot what this was for)
200.64.67
67x56= 375.2 lb
64 / 25.4 = 2.51 aka 2.5inch

200/ 25.4= should equal 8inch spring aka 8 quarters(inch) equal 2dollars(200mm)

I beleive the first are a custom GC spring. You will have the best luck calling GC and asking them.
