Arrow Anyone using MAZDASPEED ground wires?

Hey, just wondering because I found a few kits for sale on eBay for relatively cheap. Any input would be appreciated, be it positive or negative. Thanks.

Ground kits are a waste of money most the time, at least in my opinion. I upgraded my grounds myself using just normal 10 gauge (or larger for a few things) and ring connectors. Wasn't hard at all, cut them to the length I needed, etc.

Well its not that expensive (Buy It Now option of $8.99) so money isn't an issue. I just want a little bit more for not a whole lot.

If it's not expensive then it's not Mazdaspeed. $8.99 sounds like a bogus product...

Haha, wtf. How can you seriously ask if one ground kit, or one ground wire, works better than another. So long as it's 8 gauge or thicker, and connections are made properly and cleanly, there can be no doubt.

*if* you had poor grounding before, then you may see an improvement. If not, then you won't. If I were going to do it, I'd run new charging + wires, AND ground wires, cleaning each connection to bare metal as I went.

Actually, the one on ebay doesnt fit my car. Actually, the new battery post supplied with the kit won't clear the hood for me. So I grounded straight to the old terminal. It's okay. Did I notice any difference? Who knows?
