I've only used Kanter a couple times and they worked good.

Doesn't answer your question,but I used Concourse..everything was just fine. If you are going to replace the upper control arm shafts, I believe Kanter is a much better deal than concourse that charged me 180. each for the upper shafts. Kanter adds less than 100. for the pair if you get the kit(at least they use to last time I checked).
For reference, I replaced my shafts because I just didn't know if the old ones were worn out, and I did not know what the shaft diameter was suppose to be, so I couldn't just mic them to see.... As it turns out, the new ones were actually .001 smaller than the 50 year old ones.
