Default Control arms, etc.

Have any of you purchased the off-brand control arm set(s) found on ebay for ~$250? Long term experience with them? Mine need done, as well as front wheel bearings, brakes, and shocks all around. So I am trying to save a buck, but don't want to screw myself. Just looking for your lowest priced sources and experience. Thanks.

Are all of your control arms bad or just a few?

I think the uppers on both sides are about done. Since I will be doing shocks all around I figured I might as well just do all the control arms at the same time.
