I'll take my second chance

My cousin borrowed air compressor, guns, and sockets today. I got so excited and took my suspension apart. The purpose is to find out if I can put in any adapter to lift the front end about .5" or .6"
The result is I BROKE one of the anti-swaybar-endlink :( :(
My thought about raise the front end:
I took the front strut mount on my hand and look at it carefully. I think the best way is the add an adapter between the spring and the strut mount. Let me make it clear, putting parts in order bottom to top
Stock:
1- the spring
2- a thin rubber mount, shape like a disk
3- the metal strut mount
4- strut huosing (chassis in engine bay)

What I am thinking is there is a lot of room left between the spring and the metal strut mount right at where the thin rubber mount is

questions:
1- Is there anyone makes an adapter in metal/aluminum/rubber/or anything that replace or add to the thin rubber mount (disk like) to raise the car a bit?
2- Is there any sway bar end link out there that is better than the stock end link?
The way my suspention set up is the enlink connect from the end of the anti-swaybar to the strut

thanks for reading
