Downey off-road cv boots

Anyone have them? They say they handle angles better than OEM boots. For $27 a side it seems worth a shot.

They are the same EMPI boots that NWOR sells and that come on CVU axles You can find them cheaper if you shop around, but they are more flexible and durable than the stock boots.

Any one have first hand experience with these?

Here's the link to downey's page:
http://catalogs.google.com/catalogs?...948&catpage=68

Even if you can find better 13.50 per boot is still less than oem boots.

Well aren't you special Most people can't do that, and this is a viable alternative that is more durable. I'll do a search tonight to see how much cheaper I can find them.

WATRD where have you found them cheaper? What are CVU axles? Would've just pm'd you, but though other people might be interested in the answers.
