Does anyone know who to read Ohlins/Eibach Spring Part numbers?

Hello, did quite a bit of research on the net and the forum, but I am still not sure if I got the spring rate of my Ohlins coilover spring. The part is is H200-065-T100 26,06. Does it mean 200mm, ID 65mm, and 562lbs? Can anyone confirm? Thanks in advance. Danny

I can look it up tomorrow at work. Our spring guru will know. I know if you are checking it on a spring rater Eibach uses a different formula than most manufacturers to calculate rate.

I know for sure on Eibach for example: 0700.225.0150

700 is the length. 7 inches
225 is the ID. 2.25 inches
150 is the srping rate in lbs. 150lbs/inch

Looks like it uses the metric measuring system.

In that case the spring rate will be measure in newtons.

So for your spring it will be:
200mm long
65mm ID
100N/mm springs rate = ~10.19kg/mm = ~569.62lbs/in

So yes you got it right in your post.
