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...

 

Yeah its "MazdaSpeed" just like all of the "HKS", "Greddy", and "Apexi" exhausts that are on ebay.

 

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.

 

whats the benefits of installing a ground kit?

 

*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?

 

I would love to rewire my engine bay.... make for the standalone alot easier later on... Plus I'd be rid of that clusterfuck wireharness thats breaking apart and shorting wires
