What do you consider 'decently priced'?

$359.98 for both
http://www.extremepsi.com/store/prod...roductid=25082

$379.98 for both (Driveshaft Shop product but cheaper than buying from Driveshaft shop directly for some reason - Per Web Site)
http://www.jayracing.com/driveshaft-...le-p-8599.html

$399 for both
http://www.driveshaftshop.com/import...-a-racing-axle

Some have had good luck with Autozone...yes, I said Autozone. But others will say otherwise...See how others respond on your thread and go from there.

Autozone $174 for both
http://www.autozone.com/autozone/par...706373_0_78656

I would opt for the top 3 options I mentioned over Autozone...if it is in your budget.

Honestly if you go with autozone or any other aftermarket brand for that matter make 100% sure that they are the same length!!! I made that mistake when I first purchased my car. The axle was hyper extending itself because it was too short. Causing the boots to rip and since it was too short the seal between the transfer case and the axle did not seat properly on the axle, which made it leak. Mine leaked very badly for a few hundred miles and I didn't notice it, causing me my transfer case to run low on fluid and getting the "deathwhine".

My advice is to go OEM. If you're on a budget hit up a local evo shop and ask them if they have any used OEM axles around. If you don't have any around you a vendor near me that goes by "E-spec" has tons of them and will ship them out to you, here's his' link.

If it is a boot leak that caused the axle to fail you only need one. BTW, front left and right are not the same.

I believe I paid something like ~$60 shipped from mitsubishiparts.net
It is the CV boot, it doesn't state it but it comes as a kit with all the grease and clamps.
