Don't bother with the cheapest brands. Delphi arms from fcp euro are a good medium for quality vs cost. I had meyle arms and switched to the Delphi arms.

The meyle arms eliminate the hydro bushings on the lower radius arms. After switching back to the hydro bushings the ride is so much better. The meyle kit really transferred nvh from the road into the cabin. They have no hydro and harder rubber. On of the meyle lower ball joints got loose in one year.

Counterfeit parts are often sold on eBay. Unless it’s a known seller, I’d avoid it.

This a bad problem on ebay and amazon. I've gotten a lot of fake shit and had to return it. Most recently fake headlight bulbs, I'm done with them both.

The 034Motorsport Density Line Control Arm Kit is a complete kit that includes four upper control arms, four lower control arms, two new ball joints, and all necessary hardware for installation. Our Arms feature solid-filled high-durometer rubber bushings and high-quality ball joints that are the perfect replacement for your worn-out factory control arms, and limit unwanted deflection in the suspension, resulting in tighter handling and more precise steering response than even brand new factory control arms can offer.

If you want to keep the relative comfort, avoid solid rubber bushings. Just buy whatever is on FCP Euro or ECS with the lifetime warrant. If you are building a race car, then solid bushings would be a better fit.

The 034Motorsport Control Arms are also on FCPEuro with the lifetime warranty :)
