Typically you get what you pay for. This is no exeption for Ebay as we all know. But some products are acceptable off of Ebay. I was wondering if these do what they say, make an actual difference, and are worth it?

What do you guys think?

 

Upgrading ground wires is always a good idea. I should do it to mine. For the price that kit looks ok to me. Just scrape around where you are hooking the wires up with your pen knife, and use some of that dielectric grease.

I've seen a lot of old cars have really weird problems caused by bad ground wires.

 

Gonzo, I actually recommend it
the ONLY issue I have with mine is
1.) It hits the underpart of my hood when I close it, although very slightly, and you know how the hood is made up of the hood and the brace? Well it just hits the brace, but i dunno, still annoying imo
2.) White powder buildup around the terminal, but I don't think that has to do with the kit itself lol, maybe, im not sure, but i didnt have that before

Otherwise, I did notice a steadier idle after installing it (although my idle sucks now due to various other reasons)
Alternator whine, GREATLY minimized with this kit, I didn't expect it at all
Horsepower gains? eh...I saw a test with actual charts that proved it worked, but it was a 2hp gain @ 5600 RPM for crying out loud, who gives a **** then
Kinda makes your engine area look cool if you assemble it right
And would help with the "BIG 3" as well

 

my friend has a similar kit on his 99SI, seems to work just fine. as far as power or electrical upgrades, i'm not sure probably not much if at all any, but atleast it workswelland looks alright.

 

I hear you can get the same results from cleaning your ground contact points, but i wouldn't mind getting a kit myself.
I read a thread on another site where somebody pieced the entire kit himself, with the wires, the gold plated terminals,
everything and it ended up costing him only a fraction of the kit's cost. After it all, he said he should have bought the kit.

 

All I can say is that they look pretty. BUT, I'd get one that's not a universal on like that. Mine has designated connection points that go in sort of a chain.

 

i dont think you'll like my opinon.... if you notice a difference it's the placebo effect.....dont waste your money..... but like i said it's just my opinon

 

it does make a difference when you have a big sound system, cause the stock grounds get pretty rusted and creats higher resistance when a big load goes threw it (the amps current draw), but you do not need to buy a kit, just do it yourself like i did with 4 guage wires and ring terminals and clean the paint off every ground point, and put some dielectric grease so it don't corrode.

 

i should of been more specifec..... the kit is a waste..... a chunk of 4 ga is legit....
