I'm looking at getting some 275/300lb replacement springs for the coilovers on my xe corsa, but I don't have a clue what size/length etc I need, could someone tell me which one of these I need? Thanks

Why do you want them that heavy first of all? That's total overkill.
In terms of size and length, do you know what your current ones are? For Corsa they are typically 7/8" (I think you need 8" up the front and I can help with that! :thumbs but a lot depends on wheels/tyres as you can get problems with the platforms touching on the tyres if you get it wrong.

just going on what others have said tbh, what poundage would you go for?
Don't know how long the ones on there now are, just standard cheapy fk ones. The wheels are 7j et35 with 195's and are only a couple of mm from the tyres already so not much room for mistakes!

You should have ample clearace as you have the wrong offset in your wheels anyway.
275lb is more big power LET ground, extra weight of the turbo and F28 6 speed box etc. I had 225lb on my XE and they were too harsh IMO.
