Default Updating eg suspension

Alright so I got another job and I wanna update all my suspension pieces. Here are the parts I know I can get in moog: inner/outer tie rod ends, upper and lower front control arms and rack and pinion bellows. I plan on getting some blox rear lca's. Now is there a better brand than moog. I know moog has lifetime warranty so that's why I'm going there. Is there maybe a lighter and stronger brand of these parts? And there are trailing arms I need to update but dunno what I can get for those. And what is the part that goes from the front upper control arm to the steering hub piece? Thanks in advanced for everything

by update do you mean upgrade or do you just want to replace with oem?

I recently replaced all of my inner and outer tie rods, and I just went with the middle priced parts from Autozone. The Moogs are soo much more expensive, I couldn't justify the cost. I wouldn't think there would be THAT big of a difference anyway in OEM type parts like that. I have been happy with mine. My steering response feels like brand new again! I will tell you, though, that once you replace all of that stuff, be sure to do a rack guide adjustment to tighten everything up. I didn't do that and my car was wandering all over the place. I finally got it adjusted just right and it drives like a dream now. Good luck!

just use oem stuff for the suspension (there are no real "upgrades" for ball joint, tie rods, etc), if you want to replace the lca's use function7. blox bushings are notorious for wearing out very quickly
