Default Sway Bar Links?

I have the Z06 anti-sway bars on my 2000. I just changed out the rear sway bar links for the 02 aluminum ones. The front is the original (2001) metal style that has the round metal stem between the joints. Should I change the front to match?? Is one better??

No difference in performance. A fraction of a pound lighter. Aesthetically, it might bother you when you look under the car. If you want them to match, I would recommend putting aluminum ones in front and sell the steel ones to someone with the 2000/01 Z51 suspension to use in the rear. – C.
