if its lowered 70/80mm it doesnt matter what its lowered on..
dont think no one sells them as a kit, if they do i have never heard of them, but you could just get some decent shocks, and get some custom springs made up, both front and rear, but it will work out about the same as a half decent set of coilovers...

70 and 80mm will have to be custom made springs...
fixed kits only go to 60mm on the corsa b thats why people tend to buy the coilovers to go really low

like i said, unforunatly you will have to get the fronts custom made if you want to go lower than 60mm on fixed struts.

pazz sells them..
i would just get coilover setup on the front and custom springs on the rear, had this setup a few times now and it does the job more then enough..
i wouldnt go 80mm on the front on springs, if you run into problems thats it your f*cked, get coilovers on the front so lower it to suite you..

problem is though, even with coilovers yeah they can go lower, but you have to think of the added pre load you are putting onto the spring. ideally you dont want to go much lower than the point where there is actual load on the spring by winding the base up as it will still give a bouncy feel. will be able to get shorter springs for coilover kits though id imagine which will able you to go lower and still keep a half decent non bouncy ride.

 what sort of problems do you run in to? just the strain on shafts etc...
