Default Gear install kit

I got my gears, looking for the install kit. I found this. It seems pretty cheap. Any reason to avoid this kit that anyone knows of?

Thank you for any inputs.

Thanks. I will look into getting the bearings and do it that way. I prefer doing it cheap, but not over doing it right.
I appreciate the info.

Make sure whatever one you get has axle seals and axle bearings. I would just go with the one off of summitracing.com from FRPP. I believe its like $110 but worth every penny. Dont go cheap, trust me. You dont want to have to rip it apart again in a few years.

The kit from brenspeed also comes with axle seals and bearings. If you take it to a shop for them to do it, make sure that they'll install Motive gears.

+1 I had alot of trouble finding someone to install my gears because they were Motive. I had shops straight up tell me "nope, sorry pal" and hang up on me as soon as I told them they were Motive's. FRPP do not require any shimming, etc. supposedly they just slide right in with no hassle and most shops dont want to have to actually "work" to get the fitment correct.
