Default Ball joints etc...

So i replaced the 4 rotors and all the brakes today, I noticed that the front ball joint rubber was shredded to pieces and needs to be changed.

I dont have the full details on the suspension that the previous owner did so...
The car is lowered alot, i rub going over those yellow speed bumps some times. I know theres KYB-GR2 in the back and for the front there just grey colored but the springs are aftermarket (eibach). And theres a chamber kit(Maximum Motorsports) on the car.

I just DD and spiritedly drive the car, no track or autocross will happen.

So my questions are:
1. With the car being lowered should i look to aftermarket ball joints (steeda or such) or stick to moog or OEM
2. Are there other items i should upgrade or change well im at it?
3. I live in an apartment so working on the car can be a pain (hence the big brake job) but if its to much work i dont mind paying a shop.
4. Is it ok to drive on for another 2 weeks or so. I checked the play in the wheels and they didnt move at all.

Thanks for all the input and help.

moog would be just fine! it sounds like the ball joint had had some abuse other than thos mods.
