Need Help ASAP

OK so im cleaning out our warranty room at work and i have stumbled across 2 sets of springs. The first is off a 2006 corolla the second is off a 2006 yaris hatchback.

What i need to know is what are the dimensions of the springs on a ae92, what i mean by that is the top and bottom diameter so i can measure what would fit better on my car.

Really any help would be greatly appreciated and i need to know for tomorrow when i go to work. So if you have any knowledge on this please put in you two cents.

Why tho i mean if the spring is going to be to big why not just cut it down. Does it take away from the integrity of the spring?

I know the guy with the blue ae92 said when he was pulled over the checked to see if his springs were cut, so I think it's also illegal since like he says it screws it up

Aswell as loosing integrity of the spring it will be much stiffer which will make it bouncy with a factory shock....it will also stuff the strut tops as it wont distibut the load evenly as the flat tapper will be cut of...
its also illegal here!

I love how every thread has someone saying.. "go to EBAY"

Derek, I have a set of OEM springs at home, maybe I'll bring one of each (F & R) to the meet.

I'd hit it!!! I'd say Standard's in Scarbo-rough! How about Saturday before the TN meet? I'm free all day, I can meet up about noon as they don't close till about 3pm. I just gotta head out to Brampton by 2-3pm to hit the Laos Festival to meet up with some buddies.
