the grounding from the factory is really poor, just by creating a better ground (and thus better flowing eletrical system) you can improve spark, sterio, & engine performance (slightly)

I sugest this "mod" for every performance car. normaly I just buy my own ends and cable and custom make it for my cars. but you can buy a kit like this and do much the same.

the idea here is to ground to multiple points (fire wall, transmission, block, head fenders etc..) which gives many paths for the eletrical system.

yeah as others said, this isnt real ralliart dude, sorry. real ones are blue. also these cheap grounding kits are often made of aluminum ends...if it has even ONE aluminum piece , then it sucks cuz aluminum doesnt have nearly the conductivity of copper. and you should know in physics the weakest link is the rate of flow.

How do they cause harm? Have you had bad personal experiences?

Can someone please tell me the measurable performance difference made by one of these grounding kits? Or is it just something that looks "cool"?
I was under the impression that only a few key points of grounding were needed of which the evo has all.
What are you guys hoping to achieve by buying these kits?

Im not doubting that it works but that has got to make your engine bay look a little weird with all those wires running everywhere.

there is none. spend your money on something worth it. i bought the circle earth kit for $125 and it was a complete waste of money.

I got the exact same kit and installed it with the GSC motorsports battery kit. I noticed it helped my idle and my A/C didn't seem to bog my engine down when turned on.
