You would hate it
Mine pisses me off soo much and its not much more than 60 at the front and 100 at the back.
Every pot hole kills you and your car, say bye to most speedbumps, sloped drives are a no go..and you can have like 1 passenger.

his arden blue one is about 80/85mm at the front on 15s (
the pic was taken when he removed the front arches to trim them back) going this low will give you a little tuck on the front which is nice if your goign 100mm on the rear, slighty nose heavy.. 
with sxi's and 195/45 tyres you will be sound..

im not really sure to be honest mate....
it had ta technix coilovers up front..... and just wound down and down and down till was happy with the height....
in all honesty... i could have had it lower at the back.... i have a selection of springs i could have used....
but i just felt like the nose down stance looked a touch better than loads of reverse rake.... looking back it couldnt have gone down a little bit...
but i have been there and done decked at the back..
check my smoke grey corsa...

cut springs ain't dangerous my car came with cut rear springs and they have been fine for the past year, anybody who has owned cut springs will tell you they haven't had a problem with them.
everybody who i know that has used coil springs have to cable tie them down because they like to fall out when 100mm+ yet my cut springs don't fall out when i jack it up and are secure as

ermmmmm personal opinion i havnt had any problems....
but im not here to advise..... but my tip if you do choose to use them.. is cable tie them in....
mine look like this....
and dan... i currently own a mk3 astra 1.8 sport.....
i no longer own the blue corsa... and i still own the grey corsa.. and am in the process of doing it up atm....
i have been purchasing bits a bobs over time... and am currently painting a set of wheels, show cage and a gsi kit for it...
the mk3 astra is modded a bit as well...
here is a little teaser of the corsa.....
pics to follow shortly of the astra.....

yeah.. you can change the rubbers holding your back box for smaller ones to raise it a bit...
and nah they are not standard corsa springs... it is a 8" coilover spring copped in half... then half a coil taken off i think.....
