The plastic ones can break at any time during hard cornering. I also did the C6 sways at the same time so I can't testify if just the metal links would improve handling. Cheap upgrade though so I'd say go for it for peace of mind.

I dont know how old your C5 is but if you havent looked at your plastic end links yet, ya might want to do so. Persoanlly, I would just switch out to the thicker C6 sway bars and then add metal links to the order.

Do the bars at the same time you do the endlinks and you will be amazed how much better your Vette rides and handles
