Can I alter my Citroen Xantia's front spring rates?

Do you know what the equivalent spring rates are for the Citroen Xantia front suspension? Is there any way I can alter the pounds per inch rate of these units?

It doesn't have springs at all. it has hydraulic spheres. There is no such thing as a spring rate for a hydractive system.
