yeah i got 10 feet of JL 8 guage wire...now, are the various grounds you mentioned the same on an 87 N/A which i have? i noticed it said you had 93...and do i have to remove the old grounds to put new ones on? my friend said all i had to do is put on new ones, and the electrons would follow the better path.

I really don't think it makes a big difference exactly where they go, just as long as it makes good contact.....not through paint or a rusty bolt. And no, you don't have to remove the old grounds. Just add.
