The only way to prevent it is to convert to coilovers

Sounds like you need to find what's hitting and fix it instead of applying a band-aid to the problem

this is why you don't use links and instead should use an electronic lowering module. with an ELM you can have the car sit low when the car is stopped or going under a certain speed and return to stock ride height once you go over a certain speed that you set (say 10mph). this reduces tire wear dramatically and allows you to also use the stock alignment. An ELM will likely actually save you money over buying links due to the higher frequency and expense of tire replacement.

there's a chart somewhere online, but in Comfort mode it will always lower. in sport 1 or sport 2 it will not lower.
