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.

Stock CV's/axles 220 ft lbs torque in my 73. I put my foot in this thing on a regular basis and haven't broken anything in 15,000 miles. On the other hand, my V-8 914 will eat a CV for breakfast! If I were you I'd put my $$$ elsewhere. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

It's the off the line burnouts that can blow a CV or 1st gear with a high hp motor. Also how sticky the tires are.
