Some of the kits that they sell on Ebay are "universal" one size fits all kits. These suck because you wont be able to attatch to all the right spots. (I found out the hard way) Also some, not all of the kits are kind of low quality, with cheap crimp on connectors. Still, the price is not bad. I would ask the seller. If you dont mind spending a few extra dollars most speed shops could set you up with a name brand. Here are my HKS's.........

there is a whole religious debate on the DIY kit vs. the off the shelf kits.

The DIY kits usually use stereo grounding wire, which is copper and it's heavily stranded.

The Sun trading kit I got is lightly stranded and it's made with low impedance copper.

Sport compact car did a test on the DIY kits vs Sun Trading kits and found that the DIY kits did little if anything compare to the off the shelf kits. I have done the same expereiment on my accord and it was night and day.

Don't forget mitsu makes one too.

MZ312864 Hyperground kit (Blue)
MZ312863 Hyperground kit (Red)

Figuring with a 1.3:1 (USD/CAD) exchange ratio, the MSRP is $120.76

And yes, this is for the Lancer, not the EVO.

ALN03FWF01 (Hyperground kit, EVO, Gold)

Assuming the same rate of exchange, we're looking at $176.09

The HKS was $125 but that was at Autobachs here in So-cal which is kind of expensive.

I went to autobac.. some of the stuff is not bad priced considering they have to stock it.. most of the prices you get, you have to wait a few days or weeks for them, where as autobac you can walk in and out .. easy

When I was in LA last week, I brought the Sun Trading one.. it's only $100
