Just wanna check with u all, i'm sure everything is fine tho.
check out the serial no. on boxes and checked em on Koni site and front suspension is the right one, but rear is for Nova according to Koni site.
I know it will fit, well i hope it does, there ain't much difference in cars.
just wondered why the site would have different no. for corsa one 
Not sure what make springs r? box says ROC (i think) low rider made in Sweden.....
Canny wait man, aye

They are identical.
I'm ordering mine on pay day, just the shocks. £90 for the front, £51 for the rears and I'm using 35-40mm Eibach springs (£118) all round.
Bargain for £259

Oh, and its a bit of pick & mix when it comes to springs with the Koni kits.

They are adjustable at the top, but just the front.
You should have a tool in the kit so you can adjust the ride quality - Harder - Softer.

When the suspension is bolted in, there is a small adjuster at the top. You use the tool with the kit to turn it left or right to make the suspension harder-softer.

the rears have to be taken off the car to adjust them.

The rears rotate to adjust them (as in twist while compressing them and holding each end)... There's about 3 settings IIRC, but it's mainly designed just to do them as they wear during their life...
I've just left my rears on minimum -- handles pretty well...

With Koni's they handle VERY well.
The Nova will have the same set-up as my old Corsa.
Anyone that had been out/driven that can vouch for it.
Out handled lowered Saxos.

i got the kit and changed the springs to eibachs - 30mm. i would recommend runnning them on lowest settings especially the backs otherwise it will bounce alot on bumpy roads. mine still handle well on lowest front and back without losing too much comfort value ( old fart eh)
i also chopped a bit off the koni supplied rear bump stops to give the piston more travel.
