Just regular coil overs are just a spring that has adjustable hieght by using keys. You are just moving the spring Higher or Lower from the shock housing itself

Coilovers in the first picture, is just that.. just an example. just spring with an adjustment for hieght.

2nd pic is just a lowering spring.. nothing to adjust, so height is really determined by what the manufacture says and how much weight is in the car. ex, sound sytems... also they do not come with shocks, will have to buy separately as other here are suggesting

3rd pic is basicly what a yaris coilover is. Its usually a kit with adjustable springs and comes with shocks. these are usually more aggressive and stiffer ride, but completely adjustable for that mild look or slammed look
