Can anyone tell me please if I can use FORD type 2" lowering blocks on the rear of my Minor?

Same question - gets the same answer - Why ? Minors usually sit far too low at the rear anyway! Look under - how much clearance do you have from the bump stop to the chassis rail ?? If the bump stops are missing - they MUST be replaced - although you can cut 1" from the tops to give some much needed suspension movement. Top tip with rear suspension (and front) is to drain the dampers and refill with SAE 40 oil. The difference will amaze you...... :)
