No, springs meant for a 2009 Corolla in North America will NOT fit Corollas in other markets!

Ours have coil-on-spring rear, not separated like yours.

The same springs will fit all Corollas as well as FWD Matrix models (excluding the XRS). AWD Matrix models and XRS Matrix models have IRS.

Corolla XRS' do not share that feature, and can use the same springs as any of the other Corolla models (CE, LE, Std, XLE, S, XRS).

A shop told me I had to replace the shocks if I wanted to install Eibachs on my S and it would cost like $300. He said the springs will wear down the shocks within a month and I will need them replaced. Can anyone confirm this? Thanks

If you are dropping your car more than 1.5" then you will probably want those shocks.
