Any experience with these Axleshafts/ CV?

[Chris_A]

I need to replace my two front axleshafts.

I have just ordered these from FCP groton. Has anybody used these, any experience. Would be nice with feedback, since they are alot cheaper then orginal ones, one shaft in norway cost round 650 USD just for the shaft. Is it a good idea to change brakes aswell when they do this job?

The car i have, 04 X5 3,0 Diesel with automatic and Xdrive.
