I would suggest against lowering springs/shocks. People of this forum and mindset will assume that I mean "don't do it because the car will be so high" but I'm suggesting against a springs and shocks combo because the lack of suspension travel from the lowering springs and the work involved to set them up. Nothing sucks more than a spring compressor and having to get the top hat/spring perch on.
Having a drop of 1.8" isn't bad at all. It's near the height of most lowering springs without the loss of stroke for the dampers. You shouldn't have to remove any fender liners at this height--if they are properly installed. At that height, you will find yourself having natural negative camber from lowering the car. You'll find it hard to gain that back with stock arms. Aftermarket arms that come to mind at SPC. I have a set of their arms for my DD and they don't add stiffness like spherical bearings do and they get the job done with my moderate ride height.
Should you choose to go with a 1.8" drop, you will need aftermarket arms to get it back to stock specs. It's not possible to get back to exactly stock specs with stock arms. It's not THAT noticeable when measuring solely with your eyes but on an alignment machine, you'll notice it.
