Exclamation Ball joints/ LF wheel bearing shot

Ok, so i have some new suspension issues going on. my lower all joints are both shot, and my left front(LF/driver side)wheel bearing..lol..for those who dont understand... is shot. So i'm going to replace them.

First thing is the ball joints, i'm going to replace the control arms with the M3 melee solid ones. What are the pro's & cons to getting offset versus centered? and how easy/hard is the install? Any ideas on which ones to get and where to get them??

Second, the wheel bearings...this is the one that concerns me, i'm not sure about them @ all. I was reading in a previous thread that you have to have special tools and it seems a little more work than i know how to do. So are there any ideas on where to get them done..(i.e...dealership/euro garage somewhere else) and how much would this run?
