installed coilovers, need advice on end links

I just installed the Buddy Club Racing Spec coilovers, and the car is sitting pretty low. I'm hearing pops now, which I'm attributing to (could be wrong) the sounds of end links hitting the control arms. From my reading, it seems like shorter end links would solve this. I planned to do this anyway, but would like to make sure this is actually going to address the issue.

That being said, I'm considering the Whiteline end links, but apparently you need a generic set, not the standard BRZ/FR-S off-the-shelf variety, so that the end links don't actually touch. While that seems to be one route, I'm curious about other solutions. Also, I'm not sure whether I need to replace the fronts as well as the rears.

Any advice?

Can you get a picture of where your car is sitting and a shot through the wheel showing the endlink/swaybar position?
