Default Spring rates

Are spring rates for losi springs as simple as they look? The higher the number the more weight it takes to compress the spring. So a 5 would be a stiffer spring than a 4?

No its for 1/8 scale. My question was about what the rates mean not the different spring rates.

The higher the number, the stiffer the spring or the harder it is to compress.
