not to sure about a corsa c but i'm sure all cars are sumwat simular.

make sure us havee the proper tools(spring compressor and spanners.)

jack up front of car support on axel stands

take off wheels

undo the 2 nuts and bolts that hold the struts to the hubs

then undo the nuts on the tops of the struts in the engine comparment.

take strut out of the ground put spring compressors onto spring and compress them.

Take off the the top of the strut and remove spring.

put new spring onto strut(u may need the compress it to get the cap back on.

then just do everything in reverse.

on the back jack up the car put on axel stands

then use ure jack under the rear beam to support it

undo the bottom shock bolts and then lower the rear beam so that u can get the springs out.

then put new springs in (make sure to put the right one in the right side and the left one in the left side)

raise the rear beam back up with your jack and put the bolts back into shocks

this is all on a corsa B

C maybe different but it cant be that different
