get it lowered 40mm, if your planning on putting anything bigger than a 15" on, it doesnt really matter about speed bump's as long as you dont have a kit on it that makes it already seem lowered. mines lowered 60 and i dont really have any problems with speed bump's, some people take them down to 80 dont know how that would work on bump's so dont go 80 unless you dont like the front of your car.

oh and your car will be a corsa b.

What size are standard wheels that are on it now?

I dont think the merit came with power steering

Yeh if roads are bad where u stay, speedbumps etc would it really be wise to get a bodykit?
