Need advice on FE4 suspension conversion

Alright, so I already bought a BMR 2012-2015 front sway bar and end links to convert the car to FE4 style setup. Earlier, I had also bought a used 2010/2011 BMR rear sway bar, This was before I considered fully converting over.
The problem I have is this - The REAR sway bar I bought has bends in it on the end link mounting tabs. I will attach a picture to show what I mean. Not sure how I didn't notice it in the Ebay listing, but it's prominent in person. I have seen mild bends in these areas on other peoples 2010/2011 BMR rear sway bars, but these are bothering me. It's making me think that they came off a car that was maybe hit. I don't know, it could be normal? It's a shame, since it also came with BMR rear end links and the reinforced mounting tab kit. Take a look at the picture of this rear sway bar and let me know what you think. Trash it or send it? If I trash it I am going to go with the BMR 2012-2015 rear sway and just go full FE4 style outboard setup.

Anyhow, the main question I have is regarding the FE4 style rear end links. I only recently became aware that these years have a totally different style rear end link, which is the vertically mounted long rod type. I cannot find any aftermarket rear end links for the 2012-2015, including from BMR. What is everyone using when they upgrade? Are people upgrading to Z28/ZL1 rear links? I have found plenty of aftermarket OEM quality rear end links, but can't find any 'beefy' alternatives from BMR, Spohn, Peddars, Detroit Speed, etc. for the 2012-2015 rears.
