For about 20% cheaper, ($104 with listmember discount), I have brand NEW
German Lobro CV's complete with German boot kits, grease, and hardware - in
other words, everything you need, brand new OEM, not rebuilt.  This means
you'll have to bolt on the CV's yourself (a simple but messy job), versus
buying the rebuilt units that are already bolted to a used axle shaft.  But
you'll have new name-brand German CV's for _less_ than the price of the
rebuilt ones (and without the hassle of a core deposit or exchange).
