Default CV Boot

While replacing my shocks I noticed my inner CV boot is cracked. I also found it hard to get a replacement boot kit anywhere other than the dealership. Has anyone found a boot kit for this car yet? Dealer wants about $130 for the inner boot with clamps and grease There is no outer boot kit available if you end up needing it.

I'm in Arizona and the dry intense heat kills anything made of rubber. While the outer boots aren't flexed for turning I'm worried they may rot out one day. I don't want to have to buy a new axel if it goes out.

Has anyone found aftermarket parts for the inner and outer boots? Would a universal boot kit possibly work? I've never worked on CV boots but it doesn't seem too difficult.
