China. Stay away.

Reboot your old ones or salvage yard pulls.

Don't loose the spacers.

I won't use anything except cvj.

If your original axles are not making any noise (assuming you have original axles)... Re-boot, re-grease and be on your way. It is a "job". But, well worth it when you consider the aftermarket crap that is out there. The PO of my car put in aftermarket "auto parts store" axles. Within 10,000 miles they were clunking and completely shot. I got lucky and found a set of salvage (original axles) that were re-booted and the car has been great since the replacement.

You will probably regret any of the axles you mentioned except CVJ's. That is the only re-man axle that I have heard good things about. There are people on here that have the miles on them to prove it (testimonials).

My experience is to stay away from GSP/China. Their product for the 300D has problems. I went through 4 of them (2 sets), all failed within 8 months. Although GSP has changed their model for this car somewhat, I had one of the newer ones, and it failed too.

CVJ in Denver is the easiest way to get a quality axle that will fit right first time and last a long time.

I do not have a lot of miles on the Car but over 2 years ago I installed Cardone Rebuilt Axles and have had no problem with them.
The transaction was at a local store with no shipping charges and I got the Car back on the Road fast.

If I had known about rebooting with the Flexx Boots I would have done that.

If you are re-booting, try swapping the axles from one side to the other. you will be running on new surfaces that way. It worked for me.
