If you want to lower it 60mm you will need uprated shocks, and make sure they are actually uprated and lowered shocks rather then painted up standard ones in shiny logo's...reason being that a corsa will not lower 60mm without them, the shocks will only let the car go down 40mm because the shock is simply to long. (if that makes sense).

With STANDARD corsa REAR dampers you can go down 90mm EASILY before the shock has issues of being too long... How ever it wont do much of a job of damping, more like po-go stick action lol.
Im down 70mm well 'into' the bumpstops with uprated shocks and 17's, the ride is horrendous! If you want to look low AND keep practicality i'd recomend 40mm. Lower doesnt always mean better handeling, 40mm is about 'best' for handling. I noticed that Donna's show car isnt seriously low but its a multi-show-winner.

apex 60mm springs dont lower 60mm go for gmax. my apex 60mm springs went down about 30 at the rear so i changed them for pi ones, sank much more.

get some FK sports shocks and springs or FK coilovers, the advert is in total vauxhall mag, and they are good prices, even there black grills are just £40 where as most other places are £100 odd.
