I made a part in eagle with vias using a set diameter (smaller then auto), but when I use the part on a board, the vias go back to having a diameter of auto. any ideas?
The left window shows the board view of the vias and the right shows the library view of the same vias.
EDIT: ok I can change the via pad sizes by changing Restring Pad values in Design Rules, but it changes it for all components ignoring what I set up in the library. This causes all pads for all parts to become thin, instead of just for the ones I need.

You are letting the DRC settings override the diameter. Use the "as defined in library" (or something like that, can't remember the exact name) setting. That's what it's for.
