Nope, some can go as low as 100mm, even lower if you take the platforms off.

Am I right in thinking that using nova springs is a way of getting a corsa lower??

It's not dangerous, you just need to secure the springs in place with cable ties to prevent them popping out when then car is jacked up... You would have to do the same with custom springs.

Apparently 60mm Nova springs will lower the car 75mm, but I have no idea who measured this.

isnt it down to the corsa being heavier than the nova??

They are different poundage so the car sits lower as the Nova is lighter...

You can just use the spring, the shocks can stay, though you need to uprate them if you are going that low.
