I know Wilwood makes good brake kits, but that is really cheap no? Do you think this is legit?

Yeah but even the fronts for that kit would be over $1000

if i remember right, the problem with these kits are they're universal and arent ALL wilwood parts or something. stick with kits made for these cars. a good cheaper option is buying a set of g37 akebono brakes.

I believe the G37 akebono brakes are bigger. Plus you know they will work

You will get what you pay for. +1 on G37 brakes for the money.

exactly, think they were all wilwood parts but like you said its universal, meaning it was designed for any specific car. so the performance might be worse than oem

Also where can you buy the akebono g37 brake kit?

Would installing just the front Akebono brakes on my 05 sedan and leaving the stock rear brakes offset the brake balance, or would it be ok?

Yes they are the same. You can actually buy the Akebono brakes with Nissan lettering instead of Infiniti.

No it wont mess up the brake bias, they are already front biased to begin with.
