Yep...and i've got a set too, and having spoken to Bilstein myself, they are definitely B8's...and they are definitely for a Corsa! Happy Days!

Sorry, but I do not find reference to B8 Bilstein Corsa B
3 years ago I wanted to buy B8, they did not exist, I bought B6

Well about 2 weeks ago i spoke to a nice bloke at bilstein...and he recommended the B8's, so we ordered a pair of sets! they defo the B8 because its a shortened version of the B12...adam has already had those and these are a shorter piston! When i spoke to Bilstein, they would not have lied to me, so...these are B8 shocks for a corsa...and now yo can get them! 3 years is a long time!

today's work was hamperd by having wrong brake pads 
so ordered new ones.
and the rain and im ill 
still not one to give in easyly
i got the front suspension built up and fitted, the disks on. and painted the calipers, also front braided brake lines fitted too.
these are all new bolts, and re-built calipers "by me" and the wrong pads
and heres one side built up minus the disks and its all torque'd up now aswell
i also made a start on the rear, im missing a spring seat, so i cant put it back together till i have one, and i got half way throu fitting the rear brake lines and it was raining into the garage "wind changed" so had to call it a day.
