If you can’t do yourself, you can give more information about your car what model is exactly E10 or E90 for example, what is engine size,  transmission type etc and we can look for you.

Can you get the OEM part number for the rear springs from a Toyota parts department?

Have a look at wikipedia for help with identifying exactly what car you have. When choosing springs, things such as engine, body style and number of doors, automatic or manual gearbox, factory fitted towbar, can all affect the choice of springs.

The below Kilen 64280 might fit. However, it's best to check the OEM part number to check it's either 482311E090, 482311E200, or 4823102120...which is what the Kilen 64280 is sold to replace.

You can compare the specification of your current springs, such as wire thickness, length, etc. with the specification below...but it's going to be easier and more accurate to find the OEM part number of your original rear springs.

Just pulled up an old KYB catalogue

KYB RK9660 is sold to replace 48231-1E090, 48231-1E250, 48231-1E260, 48231-1E580, so Kilen 64280 and KYB RI6167 should be similar to 48231-1E250.

KYB RK9660 is not supplied by KYB in Europe.

I'm aware of these facts, just following the breadcrumbs, and confirmed the cross-ref

KYB RK9660 is the equivalent to a rough road package spring

I've used Amayama before.

KYB are usually the oem supplier to Toyota for  springs and shock absorbers. 
I have changed my rear springs last year and I bought KYB from Auto doc, they perfectly matched the original ones by specs and sizes and were easy job replacement as diy. If you buy original Toyota they night be KYB inside the box.

If you look at the KYB 2022 spring catalogue, it shows that KYB Europe only supply two rear springs for all models of the Corolla E10...RI6166 and RI6167.

The RI6167 is for the estate versions of the Corolla E10 whether it's the 1.3 petrol, 1.6 petrol, or 2.0 diesel engine.

The RI6166 is for all other versions of the Corolla E10, again whatever the engine version.

So if you want a KYB Europe rear spring for your Corolla E10 you are limited to these two rear springs...and I wouldn't recommend the estate rear spring if you don't have an estate...as they tend to be stiffer. If you fit the estate version, not only is the rear spring likely to be too stiff but the rear of your car is likely to be too high.

Working out the front spring is just as easy, as again KYB Europe only lists two different front springs for the Corolla E10...RA3759 and RA1239.

RA3759 is for the 1.3 petrol and 1.6 petrol engines...whatever the body style...so including the estate.

RA1239 is for the heavier 2.0 diesel engine...again whatever the body style.

Because yours is a 1.5 petrol engine, it makes sense to use the 1.3 and 1.6 petrol engined front spring.

Of course, it is also best to check against your OEM part number like you did with your rear spring...just in case there's a surprising difference between the European and Japanese Corolla E10 versions, or KYB have got it wrong in their catalogue.
