I have been looking at grounding kits, and most people seem to believe that sentientbydesign's grounding kit is the best, and IMO it is. I'm ordering mine today Check it out -> zerothread?id=345479

I have the SBD kit. You will not be disappointed in them. Very good quality and very clear instructions.

I have seen far less quality from "Import perfomance part" suppliers. I wish all aftermarket parts had such detailed and clear instructions. The pictures he uses are actuall install pics, and you can clearly see where every ground point is located.

I think it makes a better Ground LOL...

It creates a more active throttle response, better sound from the stereo, etc.

You guys are awesome!!!

John,

I can shave a few bucks off of your kit if you wanna meet me out in OC when I'm out there in the future. No need to pay for shipping if I can just meet you lol.

Trevor,

Haven't gotten an email from you. Let me know which kit you're interested in.

OK, The stock grounding on most newer cars use very small wires to ground the system to the cars chassis and motor to make the needed connections throughout the electrical system on the car. The addition of larger wires placed throughout the car, i.e. ecu to batt., trans. to common grounding area, and other spots help the electrical system run more effeciently or "cleaner" and therefore help the car to run better, shift better, stereo seems more clear, etc. In essence the wires help to make a "better" connection for the sensors throughout the vehicle and therefore the vehicle has better response. SBD did alot of homework on the entire car to come up with these kits and you will receive a quality product that blows everyother kit away.

You will notice the difference!!!!!!
