The springs are colour coded for the various strengths but no spec or figures only listed as heavy duty, light duty sort of thing. Its a bit of guess work getting the strength you need but being so cheap I got a couple of each for comparison and trial. I listed them as Blue - Light, Red - Med, Green - Strong, Brown - V Strong. Bear in mind though that die springs are in general strong springs so even the Blue - Light spring is fairly stiff.
