BBK/Akebono

Hey guys,

since auto sedans does not come with Akebonos,
I was considering OEM Akebonos or other BBKs.

I found OEM new Akebonos for $1,900.
INFINITI NISSAN SPORT BIG BRAKE KIT FOR G35 G37 2007-UP | eBay

with that money close to 2K, should I be looking for BBKs ?
what would be the kit that run around 2grand range?

any suggestions would help!
