I got my parts through FCP online and I ended up doing almost everything on the suspension myself on my 535 front and rear. Just have one arm on the front I didn't end up swapping out. Pay attention to torque values, and make sure to only fully torque the bolts going through rubber bushings that need to be "loaded" or "under stress" with the weight of the vehicle on them or with them forced into their regular ride height alignment. Otherwise you risk prematurely wearing out the new bushings. Take your time and expect issues, because you can never be fully ready for the unexpected issues that always come up.

Check out strutmonkey.com
I just ordered shocks and struts with new springs and everything comes fully assembled and torqued to spec. For my control arms, I went with FCP. Haven't swapped it all out yet, but planning to in the next week or two.

Hopefully you don't have active suspension... those prices are CRAZY and no aftermarket options. Dreading when I may need to replace them.
