Does grounding kits work? Anybody here used it on there Maxima?
Stillen offers the grounding kit for 129? Good price or a rip off?

Do they work? Depends on who you talk to. A lot of controversy. There have been a bunch of threads on this topic. You maybe can search, or scroll through some pages to find the threads. I think there are a few write ups, too....but can't remember who did them...

Stillen's kit is one of the most expensive. There are less expensive ones available, or make them. Many members have done that.

matt blehm/blehmco makes one that is probably much cheaper than stillen. he said it improves the 1-2 mph launch/downshift and depending on the member you talk to, it may be a drastic change or slight change, like blues says. there are ones out there that are all for show, then blehmco one is just regular wires, but if you dont care about showing off wires, his is the way to go, plus cost is good, plus your supporting a fellow org member.

i have that EXACT same kit (except black wires). i made it myself for $30.

so if you buy the stillen one, this is what you are paying for -
grounding kit - $30
"stillen" name - $100

If you are considering the Stillen one, just get the Blemco one. It's a ripoff of Matt's kit anyway. Might as well support a local and get the original.
