Roof Racks for Kayaks

My family just bought a couple of kayaks today. Rather than getting racks for my mom's '05 Town and Country, we were going to maybe look into getting racks for my 2001 9-5 sedan so it's a little easier to lift them up and get them off the car. We have a Thule system on my Dad's 1996 caravan so we could use the crossbars on the Saab. My question is: Thule or Saab brand? At the kayak place I found the Thule feet/mounts whatever they're called that hold the bars on the roof. They have those for $139. Buut I can get the whole rack system from Saab at saabparts.net for $92. Is this a reliable site and rack system? They seem to have lots of stuff for pretty cheap. We want to get 2 kayaks on top of the car. Looking at the Saab racks though they don't hang over the sides of the car at all. The Thule one would be wider. Each kayak is 27.5" wide. Each weighing 52 pounds. I couldn't find much info on the Saab system. I only found a UK site that rates them at 100kg which converts to about 220 lbs, right? Any opinions will be much appreciated. Thanks.
