while spring diameter may not be exact science , it can be used as a guide to help us figure out aprox spring rate.
here are some measurements I took from the stash of springs

12.88mm = 200#
11.88 = 180#
11.26mm = 165 progressive
10.8mm = 140#?

9.7mm = stock X#

Welt
43/92 SP100 10.7 mm (100#)
67253 SP180 11.7mm (180#)

Eibach
336767 080.250.0225 9.86mm (225#)
1000.250.0175 9.90mm (175#)

So it seems that you can tell with the weltmeisters, but not the Eibachs.
