Ground Wire Kit??

Anyone know of any good ground wire kits? While working on the car yesterday I noticed the ground wire from the body to the trans is close to tearing and is pretty brittle. I'd like to replace all my grounds since I have 140k on the OD.

There aren't any kits, but you can just make one yourself. Get some appropriate gauge wires and it shouldn't be too bad. I'm planning on doing this soon too.

Yeah from the looks of it it looks like wire that's clamps down onto two metal clamps. Anyone have any idea of what gauge wire to use?

do the big 3 upgrade. it's typically done when running higher powered audio equipment, but it will help and does the same thing as a 'ground wire kit'.


i only use 1/0 gauge wire.

I planned on upgrading the other wiring so that's not a bad idea.

There is a ground kit for our car, I have had it installed for 7 years. It is a hyperground kit made by Sun Automobile. You can make your own wires also.
