it's CV unlimited's 4130 cv's
it's my understanding, they do the 4130 axle and cv for $900, in addition to their 300M CV's that are $1300.
i've got a set of the 300m ones (or so they said) that i've had since last march.
i wasnt really impressed w/ the quality, they beat on the shafts w/ a hammer, marring the seal surfaces. the splines were sloppy on the star to shaft connections. i had to send them back 2 times because the shafts were to short. and on the third time receiving them they were again to short, so i pulled them apart myself, only to notice that they had machined an extra groove in the axle and kept loading the spring clip in the wrong groove.
if i had it to do over again i would have definately gone the toyota route.
as my disco sits now, there is a ton of slop in the front end and very likely i've cracked yet another star. CV's just plain suck that's all there is to it!

Revor. End of discussion. He knows what he's doing and his stuff is (IIRC) less expensive and will fit the first time out.

I talked to them a couple years ago about it and it really seemed like they were slapped together at the time and it seems like not much has changed. They do offer a lifetime replacement but I don't think anyone that really pounds their trucks has ever used a set. I bet they would break pretty quickly just from their size and build quality. I would like to see someone test them because it's always good to have better after market support even if I wouldn't ever use them it's good to get other's in the sport and would be a reasonable bolt on if they were worth the money
