Default Anyone have any thoughts on Front Suspension kits?

I am looking to replace my worn out suspension parts with new parts. I don't want to change the suspension feel, just replace the worn out parts..

I see this kit on Amazon.
Amazon Amazon

It looks way to good to be true, because even two of those parts from the dealer is more than the kit (I know these are not dealer parts)

Does anyone have any opinion on what to go with? Moog, dorman, holland or OE?

I assume the metal is all spec'd the same, but I don't want to get cheap ball joints and bushings, since they take so much abuse.

Wow that is a great price. No idea on quality personally. And Amazon has no reviews on this specific item. Maybe check out reviews for other kits sold by this same seller (if there are any).

I see it's 1-A auto selling it. They are a reputable company, so I wouldn't have a problem buying that kit from them. At least they stand behind what they sell.

So it looks like the kit is made by TRQ. I looked at 1A auto's Amazon store and did a search for TRQ. They must be a new company or something, because there are hardly any reviews on any of their products.

Take a look.
Amazon Amazon

It seems like the reviews there are either 5 stars or 1 star (Not literally, but it seems that way)

I guess if money is a driving factor, you could go with these; more parts/less money: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Brand-New-1...hWshq6&vxp=mtr

They have a ten year warranty.

How you have a 10 year warranty on a wear and tear part is a mystery to me. I guess they figure you are going to sell the car before the 10 years is up

It matches up with Detroit axel's website price wise for complete kits. I just pulled up all kits, for all cars. This is right in the price range.
