I never gave it much thought about it until now but I'm not so sure I'm using the right endlinks on my car. I have the SVT suspension but a sway bar from an '03 SE (not sure on diameter). I'm using the '03 endlinks but should I be using the SVT versions instead? Are the SVT ones longer because of the car's lower stance or because the SVT sway bar is shaped differently?

Front endlinks are all the same, rears are different depending on model.

Oops I forgot to mention I'm referring to the rear sway :)

The endlinks would matter on what bar your running. The bolts are different sized, so you want to run the endlink that was made for your bar, or it won't work properly.
