Front sway bar end links size? - F-Body Road Racing and Autocross Forums

Hello,
I am looking for some advice regarding the proper length for front sway bar end links on a 02 Camaro SS. I broke both bolts on the stock front sway bar end links, so I purchased a set of Energy Suspension, polyurethane end links. Right after ordering the ones listed for an 02 Camaro, I noticed their website states to "measure the length of OEM spacer sleeve to order the correct length". I measured the stock spacer sleeve and it is approx. 2 5/16". Here is the problem, the universal on I received for the 02 Camaro has a 2 7/8" sleeve. So this one is 9/16" longer than the original one. Should I just use this new universal one or order a 2 3/8" one from energy suspension. My car has dual uses: drag strip and SCCA Solo events. I want the car to handle better and I am afraid that with the longer end links that it may reduce the effectiveness of the sway bar.

So anyone have any recommendations?

Thank you.
