CV Axle replacement- which brand is best?
 
There seems to be a large cost difference on CV axle assemblies from the OEM brand at $299 each, EMPI brand at around $140, and then bottom tier Cardone stuff as cheap as $65 per side.

I've got around 65k miles on my current set of axles, and based on their condition I'll need to replace them soon.

What brand does everyone have experience with?

Does anyone know where to get OEM cheaper?

I bought the EMPI brand to replace both front axles and has worked perfect. Excellent fitment. Great high quality product equal to the OE axles but for less cost. Currently have about 10,000 miles on them without a single issue.
