Default Greasable end links

I have new swaybars and shocks, all C6Z. I kept the original metal endlinks, but I was wondering if going to a greasable end link like Moog or a few others is worthwhile. Also, is there an advantage with adjustable end links?
thanks!

I’ve heard adjustable links tend to rattle or make some kind of noise. I can’t confirm that as I’ve never had them for just that hearsay reason. I do however have the grease-able moog ones and love them. Not sure if they are absolutely much better then the original metal ones but so far I like them.

I’m interested in the Moog Greasable links, which look stouter than the stock metal ones.

Stock metal ones are completely adequate. Unless the stock ones break, don't spend your money.

I noticed my stock plastic end link in the passenger rear had snapped, so I yanked them all off and replaced with the Moogs. It maybe feels the tiniest bit nicer when I'm taking a fast corner, but I haven't noticed a huge difference.

Chas, old saying. Don't fix what ain't broken. BTW, if you were doing more track days the adjustable links would allow more tuning to your suspension.
