Default S2 Front lower arms

What are the better lower arms to buy these days and where from?

I see some Delphi around £25 a side compared to QH which are about £60 a side on the bay, i'd normally go for the QH as known OE replacements but there's also Febi around the £40 mark, best go with QH or are they not worth the extra over Febi? Any others worth considering???

We fit Delphi as a premium brand at work these days (not to old escorts mind) that said Febi is good stuff, QH been around years but none of the suppliers for my works send it these days.

I do think I should start stocling some replacement parts for my old bean tin these days.

Never heard Delphi as premium, usually middle of the road in the past, maybe better now?

I was under the impression mk3 and mk4 escort lower arms are the same, but loads of part numbers that don’t cross reference, was there a change here made between the mk3 to mk4 in lower arms?

I think the mk3 inner has a bush and the mk4 inner is a rosé joint.
