I do all the work myself, so I save there already. And I'd rather replace as much as I can even if it's a little overkill just to make sure it's good to go for a while.

Which CV boots to use?

Non-original CV Boot kits cost like $10 each, OE one is like $30

Does it make that much difference? If OE was at least 10-20k miles better I would go for them, but is it really like that?

Thanks!
