hi, id like to know if its possible to find really cheap big brake kit for infiniti g35 coupe 03-07.
Just about any aftermarket kit will cost you big bucks. If you want a cheap solution you'll need to build it yourself.
Your best bet is to raid the Nissan/Infinity parts bin and see what parts might interchange with your car. Check older and newer Skyline brake parts as well.
The main thing is to hit up the proper forums. I'm sure your not the only person wanting bigger brakes for that model of car. It's through combining knowledge that you can find a solution.
Has anyone commented on the difference this kit made over stock?
Does it cause the car to feel unbalanced during braking without the rear setup??
The people who have done this upgrade all say positive things. It slams you to a stop. The balance may be better than stock. I'll let them chime in personally. If their lazy then I'll dig up their comments on their installation threads and post them here.

Definitely not.
The stock brake system is biased towards the rear, meaning often times the rears grab hard enough to kick in the ABS even before the fronts do on a hard stop.
With these big front brakes, the front brakes are much stronger, so when you dive into the pedal you get a much more balanced brake effect. The fronts slow the car down A LOT by the time the rears start to kick the ABS in.
I've put my CTS-v system through its paces, and I think the balance is excellent.

Thanks Wesman!!
What was the difference vs stock?
30%,50%? Shorter stop times?
Also, I have heard many comment about the added weight of
these systems over stock calipers,rotors.
Anyone know how much more the rotors, calipers weigh than the stock setup?
Thanks in advance!!

Hard to give a specific percentage. Its a huge improvement though, when you really hit the brakes the car decelerates so much faster than stock. The faster you go, the more you notice the improvement. You can brake into a turn much later with this setup, since it slows down so much quicker and efficiently. I'm sure the stopping distances are much shorter than stock as well.
As for weight, the only thing that really weighs more is the rotors. They are quite heavy, but they are designed that way since they are so large and need to dissipate heat and resist warping. The CTS-V calipers are aluminum like the stock calipers, so I doubt they way much more, if any. In fact, they are probably lighter because you eliminate the stock steel caliper bracket. In total this upgrade probably adds 10-20lbs over stock. Nothing significant.

You just need to use washers between the caliper and spindle to properly center the caliper over the rotor.
