Default Advice, Upper Arms

HI, I've done some searching and could use some input. I need front upper control arms and the local dealer wants $1,500 CDN to replace. My car is not lowered and have no intention to lower it. I see Rock Auto has Moog R/series, but have read these are not one of Moogs better lines? I had Raybestos and they lasted 100K kilometres, but don't see them in Rock Auto or Raybestos catalogue. Figs has SPC's for $495 CDN each, which is too rich for me. Any other suggestions?

I bought a pair of AC Delco upper arms from Amazon, about $100 each. From appearance, they were very similar to the OEM arms. Deeza was another option I heard good things about, they are also available at Amazon.

A friend of mine bought the Prime Choice UCAs on Amazon for something like 27.00 per side and he hasn't had any issues. I think he's had them about six months now.

I bought Moog's R series UCA's from Rockauto.
They're almost identical to the factory ones. So far so good.

I saved $700+ when I chose the Moog's over my dealers OEM UCA's ($550 each).
