Valve Stem Seal kits

Alrighty, I'm about to replace my valve stem seals and was looking around at kits at places like napa, pep boys, partsofamerica, and see prices for the kits ranging from $11-$70. Anyone know any thing about any of the lower priced ones? I sorta don't want to spend more than $30 on the seals. So if you've done the job, who's seals did ya use?

fel pro ought to cost you around 30 dollars for positive seals for both valves, o rings ought to cost 5 dollars.

I used these Felpro on both intake and exhaust. They come with o-rings too. Worked great.

phess11, that link for the parts you used, I bought what those little circle's are, but I don't know what those larger circles are. Are those the rings that go on the bottom of the valve stem? Cause i'm sure those little ones go on the top. Or I don't know what the hell is going on~
