I disagree. I put CV brakes on back when the only kits available were $800 and up. They work very well, were easy to install, and have a good e-brake set-up. You are right, though, about them being the same side to side (no right/left) so the calipers end up on the front of the disc on one side and the rear on the other. I do think that an upgrade to large drums would be just as effective, though.
Edit: And there's the added benefit of parts availability.
