Question on Hyper Grounding kits

I'm wondering if other people that have this kit have the same problem that i am. You guys know that the US and Japanese have different size batteries and terminals for their cars, so the kit is from japan. So its smaller and the battery terminals on our cars won't clamp all the way so its kind of loose even with that collar adapter you put on the battery. How do you fix this, do you need to by a new terminal or a collar or something??? Mine negative terminal is loose and want to know what i can do to make it tight(and its tightened all the way but still loose)

Of course, "Hyper Grounding Kits" are nothing more then marketing hype and just a waste of money.

I wish I saw AaronCake's link before I grounded my car. Great write-up. Also, congrats to him for being mentioned in the 2nd Gen article in Hemmings Sports & Exotic magazine.
