$120 for a grounding kit?

Hey guys, RX7store.net sells a hyper ground grounding kit for $120.00. I alrady have the free Pettit kit (one wire and a bolt) and it did seem to make my FD idle smoother, but it could be in my head. The hyper ground kit seems to have a lot more better quality wires but the price is pretty steep for what it is. Does anybody have this? Is it worth it?

Has anyone made their oown grounding kit with copper wires? Where do you connnect them all?

Thanks,

-Matt

Welding cable is what to use ( many fine wires ) at the cost of about $1.oo per foot for large size (#1 ) . My mechanic makes his own ends to fit, instead of using the cheap thin bought junk .

The Pettit kit is only one wire? I have been begging them for a free one and all it is, is one wire? Where does it connect?

Yeah, its a wire and a bolt. You connect the wire from the negative battary terminal to a empty screw hole in the drivers wheel shock housing in the engine bay. Then you reconnect the stock ground to a different hole in the engine block.
