Opinion, Brake Set Up and Suspension

Hey guys, I'm pretty new to the site and Mercedes to be honest, just got back from the garage and my front suspension and brakes are in rough shape.

I was wondering what aftermarket brand you recommend for disc and pads??
I don't really feel like buying some ebay special or OEM at the price they are.

also I was told I need to replace the front lower control arm and outer tie rod, ebay seems to have those, you think these are okay??

Oh and the car has 240 000km

i wouldn't trust anything unless a brand was stated.

Moog or Lemforder should be good. idk about the other brands. FEQ/MEVOTECH/DORMAN are regarded as "cheap" brands from what i remember. That's a good website btw.

As far as rotors go, any of these should work.

pads you'll have to do some searching to find what best suits your needs.
