Default Ground wire kit worth it???

I have a 91 civic hatch with really really shitty falling apart ground wires.

Would this ground wire kit be worth it or should i just use some heavy guage wiring to replace the existing splitting grounds.

I dunno if that kit would help, I didnt look @ the link, but I will tell you this. I took some 4ga. amp wire and crimped the ends with connectors and re-did the ground wire on the batt. and on the valve cover and now my car starts every time on the first crank and my MPG went up a lil bit and the car ran smoother. Total cost was like $8 bucks for everything. I'd have to say that was one of the most noticeable mods that Ive ever done to my car, right next to my Jimfab. (excluding the swap and turbo lol)

the people that do it say that they can notice small differences. They may be in MPG, car running or idling smoother, or other things. I would do what blaze suggested.

yeah, I replaced my grounds. Better idle. havent really noticed the MPG. But It wont hurt the car. its a good upgrade IMO, but a DIY upgrade.
