CV Grease
I'm changing my CV Boots and have found that the Porsche grease is $25 per tube (at Sunset rates!) and I'll need 4, or more, to do the job.
Is there a suitable substitute at a more reasonable price?

I was just searching for Swepco 101 and found it on Pelican.
I also saw the CV Boots (image below) at 1/10th the price of Genuine Porsche parts from Sunset.
The boots alone from sunset are $283.84.
Pelican looks to be $38.00
Admittedly, 6 of them are Loebro, not Porsche, but for $250 do I care?!
Are the Porsche boots really that much better?

I bought GKN/LOEBRO kits for the rear of my C2. I picked em up on ebay for $18. The item number was
250135246759 (I always have trouble linking to ebay auctions). I could have just bought the boots for $4 but I decided to get the kits as they included the grease and the tension rings. I knew I needed the grease and the bands are nice in case I screwed up the old ones in removal.
My experience is with the rears, so prices and things may be different for fronts.

EBS seems to have good prices. After looking at their catalog online I see that I could have saved a few bucks if I had bought my kit from them. Thanks for pointing them out!
