You will probably be ok with stock end links on the street. Mine finally gave up on the track and they got really loud. I replaced them with Moog end links and they were fine the last few track days. If you ever need to upgrade the end links, the Moog end links are decent and have their own zerk fittings so they are easy to grease when you do the sway bar bushings.
You should have zerk fittings on the bushings for the sway bars. They probably just dried out. Use a good waterproof grease like marine grease that should be available at most auto parts stores.

Just the front went bad and now have Moog end links. So far, so good.
Your front end link's days are probably numbered depending on just how wide and sticky your tires are.

Well, at least you are aware of what will probably eventually happen. Those tires will probably save your end links a little longer than mine did. You will know when they go- one will start making a loud clunking noise.

This trick has worked for me on other cars: try wrapping the sway bar in teflon plumbers tape, wipe on a thin coat of silicone grease and reinstall the bushing. No squeaks for years

Installed the eibach sway bars back in march of 2012, ~ 28K miles ago. Haven't lubed them since; no squeaking. Although, it will probably start making noise after I post this
