Do you track your car or just normal street driving? If the latter, then just get the newer updated sway bar links and you should be good to go.

The C6 Z51s are popular here. Upgrade to the metal end links also.

From CF Vendor Parts Taxi:






Z51 Front and Rear Sway Bar Kit - Our most popular bar kit. Kit includes front and rear stabilizer bars and bushings for Z51. We are now proud to offer our customers the choice or either OEM bushings, or polyurethane (poly) bushings from Pfadt Racing for the same price of -$192.21




Don't forget the upgraded metal end links, especially you C5 guys.
