Default ??? on swapping Sway Bars

I bought a set of used C6 Z06 sway bars for my 2002 C5 coupe. I know these will fit no problem but do I need to buy the new metal end links? I believe i was told that 2001 and newer already have metal end links, unlike the 97-00's. Any info would be greatly appreicated!!

You have metal links, but check the bushings, they might be shot. Cheaper to get a new set of links then.
