Voltage Stablizer + Grounding kit

Is it worth it to pick up a VOltage stablizer + grounding kit ?

Or is a grounding kit fine enough?

Saw this on ebay looked kinda interesting and wondering if it was worth the extra $$ to pick up a voltage stablizer along with the grounding kit.

Anyone have a voltage stablizer in their rx7?

Do they say what this alleged "voltage stabilizer" is? If not, it's probably useless.

voltage stabilizers are usually hogwash. I have yet to see some evidence that they actually do something useful. Especially since they always seem to go on the negative battery terminal or between it and the chassis ground for the battery. There is nothing that can be accomplished from this point. Since any "unstable" voltage will have already traveled from the alternator (not the battery in a running vehicle) @14-14.4v through each item that uses the electricity and through the chassis to the battery ground and back to the battery. What would be the point of "stabilizing" voltage that has already been used? The best thing it could do is nothing, the worst would be to increase resistance, actually decreasing effective voltage at the items that are trying to use the power supplied by the alternator.
