The Corsa C is a completely different car.. The suspension is not compatible.. The fronts have drop link mounts and the top mounts are all that hold them into the car.. The rear springs on the B are too soft..

You could use your valve caps!

You can use the rear springs but because the c weighs more than the b, the b springs are lower poundage so will be softer than c springs. Tbh sell the b parts to pay for c equivalents.

You can use B front springs on a C but you have to turn them upside down
