Grounding kits may make the car idle a little smoother. That's about it. A few members have installed them. All they do is strengthen your ground connections.

Just go to radio shack and get 4ga wire and a few connectors. You can build it yourself for about 20 bucks.

Doesn't add any power. I don't believe in them.. It should make your car run better if your original grounds went to sh**, but thats just restoration of lost performance that used to be there.

i had the sun ground kit with the voltage box on my integra and it was alright. I did feel that the car idled much smoother and revs was smoother too but i dont think there was any HP gain. If there was a gain maybe 1/2hp...haha

I agree slickshiftnall6, I sold my integra for my CL-S and sometimes i think to myself at night if that was a good idea. Spent so much time on the DA, especially installing the euro rear bumper fog lights. I wish i had my DA back. The guy i sold my car to doesn't even drive the car, he baby's my baby...hahaha, i guess thats a good thing...

BTW: I hope the you like and found the ground kit worth it (davepaulo).

honestly those 'premade' ground wire kits are trash

and the only real reason that you would want an upgraded grounding kit is if you have an upgraded alternator and a pretty serious stereo system or accessories

if you really want to upgrade your 'big 3' then get yourself about 6 feet of 0 gauge wire (yes 0 gauge...anything above that is counterproductive) and some 0 gauge copper crimps and get to making your own. I did this on my cl and it did eliminate my instrumentation dimming at night when the bass hit hard (dont use a capacitor)

as for engine performance...forget about it...it won't do jack sh-t
