Default Clutch Spring - 2011 GS

Can someone look up the part numbers and tell me if the 2007 clutch return spring is the same part number as the 2011. My friends 2007 feels a lot softer than my 2011. I would like to swap to a 2007 if they are indeed a different part number.

Thanks,

Can't find part numbers but I'm sure they are the same. Maybe your friend's car has a broken/missing spring or swapped for a C5 spring at some point. There have been quite a few reports here about owners not knowing that spring was broken/missing. Did you look at it?

I looked at it. It is in place and working. He is the original owner and has never changed or messed with it. He said it has been the same from the start.
He agreed that mine is a lot stiffer and we both assume that it is because of a different spring.

I did remove mine last weekend to test and did not like it at all. A lot stiffer without the spring.
