I made my own. Could not tell a difference at all. Good thing I only spent around 20 bucks on it. Its best for older cars that have bad grounds.

Still with this question? Searching is free now and new threads still need to be started on this? Please search it. Much debate in the paste over the answer.

I saw a Honda doing a before and after dyno with a new grounding kit, a few years back. I remember, in his set up, there was no difference and the kit was going to be returned.

It wont do anything for performance. All it will do is prevent strain on alty, battery or wires really.

Make your own. $8 wire. $4 crimp connectors.

make your own, or just buy how ever many ready wires of needed lengths, no need to purchase an "kit"

no difference unless you have starting/electrical problems

installed one 2 yrs ago thinking it would resolved my starting issue.. turns out it wasn't the grounding.. left the wires there.. too lazy to remove and it adds "colour" to under my hood ( matches my D2 coil overs)

notice difference... nope!

It makes a big difference on your sanity. Do it and get your mind at peace. I did mine a couple of years ago. Did not notice any differences, but I don't have to think about it anymore.

Funny.. most of the people that installed my kits noticed an obvious difference.
Maybe that's because I'm not grounding mundane things that don't affect the electronics like strut towers and intake manifolds.

the only thing i've found with ground 'kits' is they help with setting up full audio/visual systems..

no performance.

It did eliminate some of the headlight dimming on my car when turning on AC, etc, I will take that back.
