i had the same sort of noise on the focus when i put eibachs on.
didn't make any difference to the ride/handling, just sounded strange.
i blame warren
wd40 seemed to get rid of it for a while.

either top mount bearing problems or they aren't fitted properly on the top spring plate

With some commas I now know what you mean, still as the spring sits on the damper and gets bolted down by the top mount, a reasonable explanation could be the top mount isn't tight enough.

i took my suspension off and changed top mounts, there was two types for my car. (not a corsa)
it was where the bearing in the rubber mount wasn't touching spring plate properly so the spring was being turned slightly
