Default LG GT2, C6Z06 sway bars, C6 end links - good combo?

I have LG GT2 coilovers that I am about to install and was wondering if going with C6Z06 sway bars would be a good combo. I have 275 fronts and 305 rears Nitto Invos on 18/19" rims. Are there other options for end links that would make sense over replacing my end links with the C6 ones.

I don't currently track the car but am pretty spirited when carving curves. May decide to track it a few times a year at some point.

I am currently slammed (front bushings removed) with longer rear bolts out back on Bilstein shocks. Everything else suspension wise is stock Z51.

Car is a 2000 C5 coupe 65,000 miles (end links are shot for sure).

Would appreciate your thoughts. Thanks.

For what you are using the car for, that combo is gonna be fine.

Thanks charger21 .

Anyone else that would be able to provide any insight?

I have done some searching and have read that i should reinforce the shock mounts. Is that necessary?

Have also read that with the bigger rear c6 z06 sway bar, that the tail will have a tendency to break loose. Is this true even with moving to a coilover set up? I have 2000 Z51 sways right now.

Thanks - hope others that have made similar mods are willing to share their experience!

Cheers
