I made the mistake of buying chinese brand cooling parts the first time I did the coolant pipes and they failed within a year (orings were leaking quite a bit of coolant). For cooling system I only use BMW parts now.

Suspension and bearings I wouldn't trust chinese parts either. If a wheel bearing or control arm ball joint fails while I'm driving on the highway it could be game over.

I understand money being tight but if a cheap part fails and takes a lot more stuff with it then you end up spending more in the long run.
