Thats why I have said in a couple other threads not to buy the eibachs, they use the same springs for both the cobalt and hhr.

If they are the same wouldn't they have the same part number?
GM may list their part numbers as being different, SO WHAT? They have multiple part numbers for almost every part they sell. Anyway, We are talking about Eibach, which doesn't have different part numbers for either the Cobalt or HHR when it comes to their application....

So to answer your original question...No...I couldn't have gotten Cobalt springs by accident because Eibach uses the SAME part number for Cobalt and HHR....

The GM springs on the cobalt and the HHR are different. The Eibach may be the same but the GM are not.

Question, Do goldlines have different part numbers for the HHR and Cobalt?

GM does not sell the same part with different part numbers. It may fit different vehicles but the part number stays the same. Only exception might be Saturn, but the company is a whole different story.

I'm not going to trust any company that has the same part number for the HHR and Cobalt for my springs.

Any new updates? Sorry for your trouble but I had a similar problem with Eibach also, with my Suburban. I had their rear swaybar break in two and there springs after two years lost there compression. I was constantly bottoming out and switched to belltech springs. WOW, what a difference again. Feels like factory.

I've used there stuff before and it's ok. But trying to have Eibach honor their million mile warranty is a JOKE! Also my favorite tire place lost my business because they kept giving me the run around with "you got to go through the distributor" crap.
