Springs are measured with force per deflection, so grab your tools and measure again. Put some weight (I'll call it W1) on the spring as a preload to make sure the coils are separated, then (accurately) measure the overall length (I'll call it D1). Now add enough weight (D2) to get to "decent deflection" and measure the length (W2) again. The spring constant K is then:
K = (W2-W1) / (D2-D1)
You mixed unit systems in your original post (mm and pounds), but those are easy to convert to N/mm or pounds/inch. A stiffer spring will have a higher K value.
I'm curious to see the placement of the springs in the tower. Please post a photo that shows the general arrangement. I'm picturing a cantilever arm forward of the hinge, with the springs pulling down toward the tower base.
It might take me a while to get that kind of setup to find out, but thats good to know. Springs are not my anywhere in my world of expertise. Thanks for the suggestion.

These are 2023 to 2024 comparisons, I'm more interested in how 2024 YTD compares to the 2024 annual operating plan (budget). Was 10.5% EBITDA part of the FY2024 plan all along? What is their normal target?

Bad for everyone.... (this is Q2, not Q3)
Remember, the street values how you do vs your peers....
wow. I think its telling when MC Q2 describe "Better-than-Expected Financial Results" to include "Net sales down 37.5%" and "Diluted Adjusted Net Income down 69.2%"
I used to joke that Flat is the new Up, but now Flat would be a miracle
