Grounding kit?

Do you guys think that this kit is worth the money? I mean its only 22 dollars for a nice looking grounding kit. Yay or nay??

i was looking into that a few months ago, but it just didnt seem to be a quality kit, mostly because it was on ebay and 22 dollars. but if someone says its good and has worked for them, then im all over it too.

I mean 22 bucks is pretty freaking cheap and it looks pretty good. And O gauge is really expensive.

i actually went to home depot and priced out a kit and it came out to be close to $20. Those ring terminals can get pricey.

Thats my point and it also comes with instructions as to where to place them and such. Besides I also think the kit looks pretty high quality. What the hell I'll buy it.

I think you can only notice a difference if your current grounds are ****. I had good grounds and a kit didn't do anything.

You could also try sanding your ground spots down to the bare metal and see if there is a difference, worth a try.
