get them checked for stretch. If you use different rods your bearings are going to be all different.

I thought that only aluminum rods stretched due to their low tolerence for heat

Highly doubt the rods are going to stretch, and even if they do its going to be incredibly minimal. Rod bolts are more likely to strecth than a entire rod.

I wouldnt doubt if Z6/Y8/Y7/A6 rods are all the same, I have a box full and they all look pretty much the same to me.
