1sweetxd answered part of this.
But as far as the spring rate the number before / is metric and after / is standard (american for lack of terms)
what you will be worried about it the standard side in this case the 168 and 196.
What this means is this is how many pounds of force it takes to compress the spring one inch. So the front springs take 168 lbs. to compress 1 inch and the rears take 196 lbs. to compress one inch.
As for you just going to buy springs off the shelf you won't have to worry to much about spring rates. most companies will be relatively the same. that becomes key when trying to do some fine tuning for specific applications and gettign custom springs.
