eBay for suspension parts E53 4.4i

I am experienceing the dreaded squeaking and clunking sounds from my front end when going slow and over bumps. I have searched the threads and found many references to this issue. The concensus seems to be that the sway bar links are the primary culprit, but in certain cases the control arms and bushings, as well as, ball joints and tie rod ends can also be contributory to the symptoms. I have a 2002 4.4i with sport package and 86,000 miles. I found a seller on eBay who is selling what they call a control arm front end steering suspension kit. It includes L/R lower control arms with bushings, L/R upper control arms with bushings, 2 tie rod ends, 2 ball joints, and the two sway bar links. The name of the seller is deutschepartsusa. The asking price is $349.00 for everything including the nuts and washers. I am wondering if anyone has purchased this kit from this seller and would comment on the quality of the parts as I am sure they are all aftermarket produced.I also plan on installing it all myself. I have seen a few DIY posts on this, and was wondering if anyone would like to share any tips or problems they may have had swapping all this stuff out. For the price it does not seem like you can go wrong if the quality of the parts are high. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
