corsa c and vectra b springs are totaly differant and also it will depend at what point on the spring you messure the gap as they are progresive springs, the gaps are differant over the lenght of the springs. standard vectra b springs are prone to going weak and reducing ride height and load carrying capacity before they bottom out. are you having trouble using the vectra as a tow car, to low on the rear? ive got a set of spax coilovers here only used for 1year before i scraped it.

vauxhall used to make stiffer springs for vectras used by the emergancy services as they usually carry alot of extra wieght. think they did helpers for towing to?
