You're right about what Beck-Arnley does. Most of what they sell is pretty 
good stuff, but not always, and I suspect that's because they can't tell any 
better than we can. There's no way to know if these parts are made by the 
same people that make them for Meyle. (And I get the impression that Meyle 
is not much different from B-A in that most of their parts are made by 
someone else.)

The amazon offer seems good, and the price is reasonable since it includes 
free shipping.

BTW, get the same items at the same price from smile.amazon.com and you 
get to designate part of your purchase price as a donation to your favorite 
charity. I recommend Doctors Without Borders.
