you can use either its up to you i will be using the ones without cups on mine as i am running coilovers so the spring is no longer attached to the chassis
the van ones are different as they run leaf springs on the rear
also the ones with the cups usually come with the rear tie bar mounts on as well

if they are for an orion they will be longer,and i think escort combis may be a different shape as they have a flat floor.a guy i know did the chassis legs on his combi and had to alter something due to the shape of the floor.the 55cwt vans have leafs.
