After going to the track with an easy 11 sec powered car and only going low 12's im looking to start upgrading my suspension.

On ebay i found upper and lower control arms for fairly cheap

What should i be looking for or looking out for? I want to get rid of my quad shocks. When i do the swap i plan on putting either adjustable shocks and struts on too or a set of lake wood 50/50's and either 90/10's or 70/30's

Is there any good brands out there that are somewhat inexpencive?

If you want superior performance and longevity get the good stuff IMO.
I would go MM ajustables or Hotchkis.

With any suspension part, for any car, for any application, you get what you pay for. MM is the most expensive for a reason. Most of the moderately priced CAs are about the same in quality, and honestly, anything is better than stock.

Metco Motorsports makes incredible upper and lower control arms. Quality should not be sacrificed here. MM does make quality products but I prefer Metco. Their lowers are billet aluminum and lighter than many others on the market. You want to keep the unsprung weight to a minimum while at the same time choosing arms that will eliminate bind. The uppers are adjustable for pinion angle and very strong. Price in about the same as MM.
