Ralliart grounding kit for $10.00

Is this too good to be true? I couldn't imagine anything Ralliart being cheap?

It's not official just a sticker. But it looks like a good price for a grounding kit.

I here a site where you can get official RalliArt Mods

For 10 bucks I figured I can't beat it. I can't even make one that cheap.

i made my own grounding kit. Personally it is the bioggest waste of time and money no mater what companies claim on the dyno.

Also put one in on my friends g35. Not one spec of difference.

However put one on my brothers 1989 acura intake and it idled a LOT better.

Results: Only good if your stock grounds are OLD and need to be replaced.

Totally a knock off.

It's like when you buy "Oakley" sun glasses for $10 on a street corner in NYC. Looks good, but it's not the real deal.

BUT, and here's the good news....

it's worth the $10.00. Ground wire kits do very little, but they do help to add a little power and run a more efficient car. those Basic wires are about as 90% good as the Ralliart and HKS wires. Since it's such an insignificant thing, those $10.00 look-alikes are just fine.

- Jason

P.S. I bought my "HKS" wires off e-bay, they came, and of course they are knock offs (Just haven't updated my signature yet). But for the $15.00 or so I paid, they are awesome. Improved idle, less engine 'noise', a more linear acceleration line, and brighter headlights.

$10 is all a grounding kit is worth. The idea that people pay $100 and more for such things is a testament to the sad fact that the words of P.T. Barnum were wholly prophetic where the performance parts industry is concerned.

I take it that the ground tower was hitting the hood? How much did you take off?
