I know that Tanabe has coils for Auris. Also TEIN is offering Type Flex...

excuse my ignorance, but what is a coilover ?

[Speed_Chaser]

It's a suspension part to make your car lower and stiffer at the same time so that it won't scrape :)

excuse my ignorance, but what is a coilover ?

Its a generic term literally meaning "coil spring over strut", basically a shock absorber with a spring round it. The Auris does I believe use Macpherson strut front suspension. The coilover is a basic component of the Macpherson strut and provides the spring and damper for this system.

Can't go wrong with Tein, they are well in with some motorsport companies who... well they're good.
