C30 CV joint / Halfshaft with MT

I have a 2009 C30R w/manual transaxle. Both halfshafts need replaced/rebuilt and apparently having a manual transmission with this car means either no one has one, I pay $1100 for the pair OEM, or I buy cheap Chinese axles for about $50 each.

Back in ye olde days of fwd cars you always just replaced the joints instead of the entire axle, I'd have no problem doing this except I can't find anywhere that sells just the CV joint for these cars. I don't want to buy cheap Chinese garbage but I also don't feel that $1100 for OEM just because it's a MT is really justified either. Any decent aftermarket options out there that don't break the bank? Anywhere to source just the CV joint? (someone has to make/sell them still)...other options?
