HI All, I saw these today on the cip1 website. They are a compete axle. CV to CV including grease and new bolts... They are priced at $90 US. At that rate they are $180 plus postage. OR i can buy them in Adelaide (Lobro) which come recomended at $420 for 4x CVs only. Am i settign myself up for a disaster i i buy cheap CVs??? and is the postage going to kill me also??? Has anyone bought form CIP1?

Cheers. Heres the website link.

The CV's plus postage would come to about $340AU. Cip1 charge a fair bit for postage =/ I've never bought from them but I will be in the future. I guess it depends if you want to save $80 and take a risk.

Hi
the postage would be expensive but You can do all that on their website...
put the items in Your basket and go to checkout and put in Your address...
it will tell You the cost of postage...

CIP1 stuff is usually excellent unless they say economy etc...

I would still just buy the CV's without the axles...
they are going to weigh a lot extra....

use lithium based Moly grease in Your CV's not the grease that comes with them...

cheers

I don't know. I saw it on their website. Try giving them a call.

I have just checked CVD's website and the complete axle with CV's are on special for $145. (And no, I'm not affiliated with them in any way if someone asks the question)
