Lotus CV Axles are here!
i wanted to go silicone because i thought it would be the most tear resistant, after reading the reply on post 151, i figured i would be fine with new napa axles. espcially seeing that other users have reported that napa will replace these CVs if you have a torn boot and the original receipt. for what you get from the new napa axles, i think its a steal at that current price.
if you catch your boots dying soon enough (and it sounds like you have), you can reboot the current CVs that you have and should be okay. this may be another great option.

i have been pleasantly surprised with the new napas. at the price i am still shocked they offer a lifetime warranty and will replace if you have a torn boot (from what ive read on here), despite the CVs coming with a note that napa will not replace CVs with just torn boots.
edit: a tip i recommend with any part that has a life time warranty, but you have to keep the receipt: keep the receipts in your glove box affixed all together by a paper clip or keep them in a secure file that you know you can access at any time. i personally keep them in my glove box so if i ever need to head to napa at any point in time, i know that i can just pull it straight from the glove box.
i am willing to bet that some of these companies know the majority of people will either lose or throw away the receipt, making their lifetime warranty now a moot point. and if its not the majority, its still a substantial amount of people not taking advantage of this.
