A quick question about lowering springs on a corsa...

Do the Front and rear springs for a corsa B fit onto a corsa C?

Dont think they do. Nova and corsa b can swap with each other but not C iirc

The short answer is no, they do not fit.

This im affraid Daveskater & (Gareth) is wrong.Spring's fit but shocks dont.
They will make your C very low though,As they will lower it more then what the specified mm is I.E 40mm Springs would be more like 50+mm.

You have to turn the Springs upside though to make them fit i think??

I will check the Corsa C forum for you!

EDIT - Here's the Link which i made on the Corsa C forum;

This is why I gave the short answer, couldn't be bothered explaining that B springs are 60mm shorter than C ones so standard B springs will lower a C by 60mm, and none of the front suspension will fit.

That's the longer answer
