Welcome to CO. We have some members who have recently done some suspension work on their cars that will no doubt be able to share their experiences with you. Good luck.

Welcome. If you're talking about stock replacement suspension parts, you can't go wrong with Moog or TRW. If you need non-wear parts like control arms, you're probably looking at good used or aftermarket tubular like Global West or Hotchkis.
