Eibach Prokit part number not matching.

I searched but didn't come up with anything, hope any of you spring guru can help me out here. Long story short. I bought the kit No. 6383.140 for my 07 Journey sedan.

Open the box, both front springs are 6383.001 - matched
Rear springs, one shows 6363.002 which I believe is the correct number, but the other one shows 6362.002. I can't find any details about that spring besides it's a rear spring made for nissan. Anyone out there that can help me verify if it will or will NOT fit my car? I have an appointment to put them in this weekend.
They both look the same and I measured the top to bottom measurement is the same. I am very confused.

Sorry, a quick google hit shows that 6362.002 part number to be for an early 2000's Nissan Sentra SE-R model, so it looks like they goofed up the shipment and sent you a mixed up set (this happens more than you'd think!). Dimensions may be similar or identical, but the rated spring weights could be very different (i.e. the Sentra is a smaller and lighter car) At the VERY least, the RR pair should match across the car!. Make life easy on yourself and DO NOT INSTALL IT!! The exchange for the correct part will go much better that way. I'd ask (hell, insist!) them to express ship the correct one out to you immediately, then you send them the wrong one in return in the box they sent the replacement in. Good luck

I called Eibach and they told not to install them, they will also send me a correct replacement part, I didn't ask for express shipment since they are in California and I am in Oregon, so it should arrive in 3 business day. They also told me to just keep the wrong part and it will be a great door stopper. Anyway, I have my front installed and my rear is still on stock. Riding like a musle car for the moment, but I should have the rear in on Wednesday.

They did the same thing to me with the sway bars. They had the right part number on the box but the part number on the bars were for an 2000 accord . Eibach fixed it asap though, they have great customer service!
