Good to know... thanks!!! I've been wondering about that. I just checked, didn't see prince increase you mention... still $89.

I just finsished driveshaft replacement from hell: I ordered NAPA remanned on confidence of store manager they were "OEM or better" quality. They came too short (I have '86 900s). Being suspect of the cheap flimsy boots, I took those things apart. Outer CVs were machined through hard coat layer, new larger bearings used, and all 4 contact surfaces had chips. In short, these things were junk. Since NAPA sent my core-returned shafts, I had to start from scratch (eg: junk yard).

I tried to order those EMPI's from eEuro, but my VIN # did'n't fit... eEuro tech help said they couldn't guarantee compatability. I ended up ordering new in/out CV assemblies & putting 'em in junk-yard-pulled axles. Worked out in the end, but cost more than twice what those eEuro's would have.

I looked around EMPI's site: seems they have stock #s for *all* c900 driveshafts. They also have stock #s for their own CVs. I contacted 'em about supplier availability but never heard back. I also asked eEuro about these other items and didn't get an explanation.

Anyway, again... nice to know someone's happy w/these things. Good luck!!!
