Nope, I got the kit from ground fusion and to be honest I didn't notice anything significant. At most my idle is ever so slightly smoother and myheadlights are just a tad bit brighter. Save the money and put it towards something more worthwhile.

I was thinking the same thing. Why pay so much for something you can do yourself. If you can hook up a system on your car by yourself, this grounding situation should be CAKE!

Well coolant bypass makes logical sense and has been proven time and time again. Grounding wires on the other hand have no conclusive data or even explanation as per their effectiveness.

well i wouldnt install em to get any hp gains out of them. mainly just for sum stable electric. and maybe a smoother idle. When people start expecting actual horsepower out of it, well thats just silly. lol

If you want a better idle, you're probably better of replacing the ignition wires or the spark plugs. On a new car like ours the electrical system is already pretty damn good, a bunch of pretty wires isn't gonna make a noticeable difference, at least I didn't think so.

I have the kit from ground fusion, in fact my car was the test fit for the Lancer base models. I have noticed better sound from my aftermarket speakers and everything electrical preforms slightly better. No HP gains though. It's one of those things that if you have the cash get but you don't have to get it.

Copper has trippled in price. (im an electrician). Its probably cheaper to buy the $74 kit. It comes all assembled and will look better then just having 8 gauge wire running all over the engine. imo

I dont see the gains. Ive read a few people on here say that there lights dont dim when they brake and such but like was said, the cars are new.... Electrical system isnt bad at all.
