Default Suspension kit Vansteel vs Willcox

I'm looking at a front end rebuild kit from each of these vendors. Willcox is way cheaper and says made in USA but not by who. Vansteel offers all MOOG. Anyone install either of these kits?

http://www.vansteel.com/index.cfm?fu...p=1864&ID=2991 $499.99

I used the Wilcox USA kit. It is curiously cheaper than moog and I did have a bad upper joint right out of the box...however, I can't fault Wilcox as they offered to replace it ( I couldn't wait that long and bought one locally) I don't think you would go wrong either way.
