Control Arm Upgrades

Hello again! its a bit hard to find a lot of info for suspension, since I don't know how to search exactly what i want here. anyways...

I'm on my way to fix the suspension components + upgrade my 2013 MCS R56, already have H&R springs and some Bilstein shock, now I'm looking for rear lower control arms. These are the ones I'm looking at right now

1, Megan Racing Adjustable Rear Semi-Trailing Links Mini One | Cooper | Cooper S | Clubman | Countryman 2002-2013 | MRS-MC-0120 (vividracing.com)
2. Megan Racing Control Arms MINI Cooper Parts Accessories - MINI Cooper Accessories + MINI Cooper Parts (outmotoring.com)
3. Hotchkis H-Sport Mini Cooper Control Arm (detroittuned.com)
4. Alta MINI Performance Rear Adjustable Control Arms - MINI Cooper Accessories + MINI Cooper Parts (outmotoring.com)

I'm new to all this suspension area of cars but learning while working on them. But i want opinions on these control arms, and suggestions. I'm kind of on a budget since I'm just a student with part time job but don't want to go all the way to the cheap way on the suspension area since that's the best part to cars how they feel on the drive. This is my daily driver but i like to race a bit. Where I'm from there aren't any racetracks, only backroads like "togue" in the mountains. Anyways, i want your suggestion since I don't want to waste my money on something that will only last me a few weeks.

Just ran across your thread. I'm going to be replacing #2 on your list (Megan Racing) with #3 on your list (Hotchkis) this weekend. If you want my old Megan Racing ones let me know. Not sure if you bought any.
