Renegade Hybrids Axle Kit, Is this the cheapest way to upgrade your CV's? Options

[betz]

I've been doing some research on 5 lug conversions and CV joint upgrades. My car will be aiming for around 165-180hp all said and done but not crazy torque (120-130 ft*lbs). I found this renegade hybrids high performance axle upgrade on pelican parts:

Does anyone know about this kit? My guess in lack of popularity would be the higher price tag and the fact that it doesn't do a 5 lug conversion in one go, but looking at the price of 911 hubs, output flanges, and stub axles... the other two major options for upgrading the CV's are looking to be more expensive (911 w/ floating axle or 944 CV's). But maybe I'm missing something. 911 stuff seems really super hard to find and when I do find it the prices look like OEM porsche prices for a 40 yo rusty piece of junk.

Do you really think all said and done I could be in it for less than $700? I mean with the 944 setup.

Also is it even worth it for 165 hp 120 ft*lbs? Would 914 CV's do me ok?

I expect so. I use a 944 cv for my 3.2. I love the 3.2, but I don’t expect to be breaking the stock axle, nor the 914 cv coming out of the 901 gear box. The 5 lug conversion was so I could run 911S calipers up front so as to scrub off speed.
So it depends on how you plan to use the car. I have driven a stock 4 across country, and the 3.2 was so much easier over the same distance.
