Default Lowering My 83 Capri

I just bought a 83 Capri Converted to GT body style. I'm looking at getting some 17x9 Cobra R's for it, and would like to lower it around 2" or so. what would be the best ride set-up for this?

I have Eibachs on my black '86 pictured below and 17x9 Cobra R's on it. Looks and rides really nice.

or tie rod ends, in the verts the off set rack bushings won fit, because the lines that run over the rack and pinion wont clear due to the 1/4" lower motor mounts... (they rub the oil pan) dont know if its a vert but just figured i'd throw that out there....
