Default Suspension refresh - aftermarket options

My 4s need’s a full suspension refresh.

I simply don’t have the budget for oem. I’m looking for a good quality alternative. Hard to work out when looking at online pics. These two appear to be the most prevalent. Any alternative brand recommendations?.

Meyle any good?
HT (Hamburg Technic)?

thanks

Second this. Read the plethora of bad reviews from any marque’s enthusiast website about HT parts quality and caveat emptor.

Meyle > HT

But that being said, are the Meyle in stock?
I ended up purchasing some HT control arm links a few months ago just to have some spares in-stock because Meyle were unobtanium.
They were preferred to the EPS control arm links that were also available.
If Meyle are available now I'll be picking up several to have in stock.

I also got the full Meyle and TRW kit from FCP Euro for my C4S. Don't know about availability. That was almost 2 years ago for me.

I also went with Feal coilovers. But others go Bilstein stock (B4? B6?, Not sure), Bilstein PSS10, or Ohlin.

EDIT: At that time I also replaced the subframe bushings with PowerFlex (Purple, softer) bushings.
