Default axle rub

Hey everybody, I have 2003 a4 quattro with 2" neuspeed race springs with 18" wheels, after I put the springs on I noticed a rubbing in the drivers back , I checked it out and it looks like something is rubbing on the axle, I have read that vw cars get axle rub from the factory sway bar when you lower it any more than 1". I don't want to take to audi because they would charge me an arm and a leg to fix, would a set of H&R sway bars correct that problem, it only does it when I make a left turn, and I don't want to make right turns all day. thanks for any help.

what kind of shocks are you running with your Neuspeed springs?

they are stock shocks, need to save the $$$ for coilovers, I just ordered the h&r sway bar kit this morning, so what do you think it is, you would think if it rubs on one side it would rub on both.

maybe the shock in that corner is blown. coilovers would be great, but even a good set of shocks would be better than stock. i'd try the new shocks before the sway.
