With stock rims, it should be fine, why a 2" drop though? You'll be better off doing a 1.5" drop IMO.
Here's my old Cobra-1.5" drop.

You'll also need to look at adding new caster/camber plates for a drop greater then 1.5. An additional cost - something to consider. Just had mine lowered 1.5 - looks great, handles great.

Check out the Eibach.com web site - look under the 'Proline' lowering kit. The site shows you the different looks for Mustang a 1.5 (proline) and a 2" (sportline) drop.
Hope this helps.

It should clear no problem, if it doesn't, just pull 'em off.
