Lowered MK6 - axle rub options?

Just bought and drove a lowered MK6 a few states home. Car was an excellent deal, owned by a service manager. It was well taken care of, just one problem: I definitely get some axle rub on the sway bar under hard cornering, slow tight corners, and big dips on the highway. I jacked it up when I got home to confirm.

The car is on H&R Super Sports and stock 17" Denver's. He also put on shortened FK end links up front.

These end links are apparently shortened to prevent rubbing, but I'm guessing they're meant for cars lower than mine? The H&R springs are a 1.5" drop in the front. I read a lot about people swapping sway bars to stop rub, but I'm not sure which route to take here. Adjustable end links? Stock end links? Upgraded sway?

So I just bit the bullet and bought a set of stock end links from Autozone. Problem fixed. The end links the former owner put on were ~1.3in shorter. Just in case anyone else has this random issue!
