Your control arms have nothing to do with your springs. Why get aftermarket? Why not OEM?

How did you bend them anyway?

Tire wear is probably from your toe being set incorrectly. When is the last time you had an alignment?

You can install it yourself if you have good tools and you are aware that you'll probably have some seized bolts that will need to be cut out of the car and replaced with new $8 bolts from the dealer.
