    Speak to www.coilsprings.co.uk and they'll make you a set of springs to whatever spec/drop you want. They charge £150+VAT for a car set of 4. I have a set of their springs on the back of my Astra estate (-75mm), can't fault them at all.
    You'll have to find some way of tieing the rear beam up though with those springs on, as with an 80mm or more drop, as soon as you go over a bump, the shocks will open out and the spring will fall out

    You can buy them upto 90mm not sure about 100 though! wh you want to go that low surely it would actually make it handle worse that low? Type it into google or something!

    There is a group buy on Corsa Sport for -80mm and -90mm rear springs.

    If that's the case, I'd speak to Avo and see about getting a set of their rear 1.9" coilovers for a Nova/Corsa that just replace the standard shocks (and you throw the standard springs away, leaving the spring seats vacant). I bought a set about 4 years ago. I think they cost me about £180.

    best way to go is coilovers!!

    if you drop it near 100mm when you corner it will wallow and the spring will drop out
    standard shocks have too much travel for use on lowered corsas.

    You don't have to do major modifying to fit the Avo ones. My rear turrets were stitch welded with the rest of the car, but nothing else done. The back of mine isn't carrying any weight though as it's stripped out. You could always tack in a couple of plates to strengthen the area if you were worried.
