I'm sorry you wasted your money.
Do you know what a ground wire kit does?
Why did you buy it if you don't even know what it does or how to install it?

Ground wires aren't a waste of money. Yes, he could have gotten them for about 1% of the kit price by doing it himself, but ground wires do help these anemic alternators that are in these cars.
Basically what you'll do is replace all the ground straps in the engine bay with the ones you bought. Do a search for grounds, and there shoud be tons of 'how tos' and pics of others doing the same.

Correct. I have an arospeed one and i like it, simpley because it has a Ground Distrubution Block.

Unceasing Measure
Re: (pdiggitydogg)
I made my own and rocked it for a year. I took them off when I started toying with the notion of jerking the engine out of my car and building it for boost [hasn't happened yet]. I noticed no change whatsoever from "grounded" to "ungrounded", even with more than the factory grounds in place all around the engine bay.
Just my experience. Take it as you will. My buddy also has an HKS Circle Earth grounding kit on his RSX-S and it does nothing other than clutter the engine bay.

My "grounding kit" cost me about $10 in 4 gauge stranded copper power wire and 4 gauge copper ring terminals. Oh, and I cleaned them up using this stuff called "Flexo-Pet" which is a sleeving thats kinda like a Chinese finger trap 
Stuff looks great, hide the cut ends using shrink wrap tubing.
The only way you'd benefit from an upgraded set of grounds in the engine bay is if A) you have a high output alt, or B) are right on the edge of drawing too much current from your stocky and the stock wires cant handle it.
But amazing my 98 EX looks like it has 8g straps under the hood, and not just one, which is a hell of alot more than the 10 or 12g my Sunfire used. That was just pathetic what they had in there for grounding.

I think that was what Dimi meant all the way. I don't think he's saying that a grounding kit is useless.

Thank you. I never said it was useless, but I'm not saying it's useful. But, I bet he paid a lot for that Arospeed kit, where he could've gone to Home Depot and make all that WITH better wire and connections for a fraction of the cost.

Re: GROUND WIRE KIT (AZNBIGPIMPN505)
don't listen to these ppl
is your car, do what ever you like.
i think it does help with the better grounding, but you could have bought wires and make yourself one.
