novas will fit on corsas no problem as there the same chassis in basically as the corsa was based on the nova and just updated.

nova springs will lower a corsa more tho. -40mm nova springs will lower a corsa about -55mm i think

I had Nova springs on my Corsa GSi and it was like a bouncy castle.

anyone know there model numbers of the nova kits they used on their corsa.

I know it sounds stupid but its a stab in the dark, someone might know.
