Effects of upper contral arm/balljoint/tie rod end

[goliath]

hey all! im new here and new to hondas. i just purchased a 1993 civic HB CX. Overall im very satisfied with the car given ive only had it a month and half and have put nearly 3500 miles on it. anyways i took it in to get it aligned and it turns out it needs some work. The shop wanted to do the following in order to get it aligned properly:

Upper Control Arm/Balljoint x 2.............290.16
ES3332 Tie Rod End...........................34.42

my question is if i want to make the car handle better is there better aftermarket parts out there or is it really not gonna make a difference if i replace them with OEM parts. either way im gonna do it soon so any help finding the parts at a better price or finding better parts period would be much appreciated. let me know if you guys have any good sites. thanks

the upper control arm can be replaced with aftermarket items that allow for camber adjustment. id recomend skunk2 as they work well, are well priced, i use it and have had no bad experiences with it.

tie rod end i dont believe there is aftermarket
