It depends how much lower you want it, also think about what wheels your gonna have. I'm on 2" blocks with 15x8 wheels and its rubbing, 3" blocks and I wouldn't get the car off the drive
2" is plenty imo unless you want the 'slammed' look

What lowering blocks are used? Do mk2 escort blocks and U-bolts fit?

Blocks yes. If you grind the nipple off the top face. Ubolts no. Straight hi tensile are what you needs.
