In theory the Nova is lighter that the corsa so will lower it a bit more.

I'm not sure it makes that much difference

right your shocks dont determine the height of the car at all you can just get lower ones as i expect you have if you think they are 40mm

the 50mm nova springs will lower 60 on a corsa so if you put them on your car would be 60mm lowered

hope this helps

in theory the corsa is heavier so the nova springs will be a lower poundage to achieve the desired height, so puting something heavier on lower poundage springs will cause them to compress more and be lower
