Default Are Pelican top mounts and control arms any good?

So I started stripping my suspension off to fit the MO30 kit I bought, car is an 04 with 45k on, and after checking I found the following
1. Worn LHS front wheel bearing
2. Slight cracks in the control arm rubbers
3. Seized bolt in one of the diagonal arm bushes
4. Both upper shock mounts showing cracks in the rubber.

So it's going to be more expensive than first expected, but I'm happy that my car will get a full suspension refresh.

So on checking OEM control arms are around $390 and top mounts are $270 each.

Pelican has OEM supplier manufactured parts for $190 and $30 respectively, anyone had experience of these, are they good or bad?

Car is a summer car they does 2-3 DE's a year

Thanks

Nothing wrong with OEM parts.....it just doesn't have the Porsche name and price tag on it.
