Question Ground Wire Kit(s)

Can someone point me into the right direction on where to purchase a Ground Wire Kit for a 03 0z.

And what types of benefits am I looking at investing in a ground wire kit? Is it just a waste of $$$ or is it a good idea to get one?

Those on ebay are generic and thin. Only 4mm-5mm thick. The grounding kits made by repreplutable companies are 9mm-10.5mm thick; means less resistance.

I've heard of people doing that. Try to find some 8-gauge copper wire.

www.groundfusion.com

Ground Fusion makes a nice kit and the guy that makes them is real helpful and will make custom lengths if you need them. They dont yield any performance gains, but they do help your electrical system to work more efficiently and smooth out engine performance. www.groundfusion.com

Oh by the way, the kit they have is for Lancer ES but will work fine on the OZ

is it worth that much though? i wouldnt think so, all its doing is keeping your electrics stable, there arent any real gains from it, other than smooth idling. right?
