personally id go for 40mm front and 60mm rear mate. to keep it level. u have genuine vauxhall wheels so anyone will tell you rubbing wont be an issue. speedbumps also wont be an issue providing they arn't that deep. my GSI is 60 front 90 rear springs with shortened shocks all round and its fine. ride is very very rough but speedbumps are ok and i had 2 people in the back yesterday, didnt rub at all.

as said, you do need the shocks, makes a lot of difference in comfort/handling!
had 35mm drop all round on PI springs last corsa, the new one is 40mm on gmax shocks and springs (couldn't resist at a few months old for £80) with poly bushes on top mounts, so much better, speed bumps aren't a problem unless you have mudflaps, they catch everything
