www.rayvernhydraulics.com have kits for corsa!
' Cost you are looking at 1250.00 this includes new front strut`s (not modified second hand ones)we also make them fullly adjustable on the bump/rebound setting to.We also provide new front bearing`s in the kit.You will have to have front/rear set up.If you had just all up the car would lift the lightest end first,so the rear would be sky high before the front would start to lift,need more help just holla.RAYoh ifyou want us to install your looking at another 700.00.'
sent them an email a while ago and this was their reply!

All depends on your cashflow and extent of modifications.
Those airbag kits can be fitted in a matter of hours, the hardest bit is running the airlines.

richie is my bro and it was him, myself and the old chap who fitted my hydraulics. rich is rather shit hot on his wiring and sorted all that out. i spoke to ray lots when i was fitting mine and he had a corsa c in the workshop, i'm assuming was that one that now has the nova arches, and we were competing to see who'd finish first. think he only beat us by a bit but he said the hardest thing about airbags is gettin the system fully pressurised without leaks. is quite fiddly to make all the lines airtight but its otherwise pretty much the same as changing a spring and coil setup. just add wiring on top, lol.

they are crap, why do you want them? to adjust your ride height? get adjustable shocks and springs! Your car will handle like a double decker with it
