C'est un ressort de la société Eibach. Les chiffres sont probablement la notation. Voici le site web. La prochaine est le site web mondial, il est un lieu en Allemagne.

That is a spring from the Eibach company. The numbers are probably the rating. Here is the website. Next is the global website, there is a place in Germany.

Spring rates are usually etched on the top or bottom of the spring on the portion that is flat. Hyperco has started embossing the rating on the coil portion of the spring.

i 've a response of Eibach : 22/95 is the date of production 1995 the 22th week
For the rate , it's on the seat of the spring as they say
Witch rate is the better to have a confortable car ,according to you ?? i 've read about 450lbs for the front is good

You should know the rate you now have, to best answer that question. The rate is sometimes marked by a color code (paint mark) which you may be able to see without removing the spring from the shock. What does Eibach recommend for your car? So much of your question is personal taste!

I am curious to know what type of spring is installed , inscribed on the end ?
Does this rate also correspond to the comfort of the vehicle ?? that whould i search
For the Front of the car 400 / 450 Lbs /inch seems a good value ??

The springs you now have in the car may already be 400-450 pounds per inch. You won't know unless you can see the color code, or you may need to remove the springs from the shock absorbers (dampers). I am sure you do not want to purchase new 400 pound springs, and then discover that you already have that same rate in your car!

Yes, a lower rate spring will soften the ride of the car, but will degrade the cornering & handling characteristics of the car.
