You should ALWAYS replace springs in pairs. Never done a Corsa, but it took me a couple of hours to do both my Smart Roadster's front springs.

I don't believe it's a legal requirement to do both,however personally I would do so,as if not you've got a spring on one side that's done X number of miles and is "worn"and a brand new spring on the other.So potential issues with how the car stands and handles.

A bit of a sales pitch, but raises some very valid points...
