Paraller but it's pretty useless anyways. I would only use that to reground my lights so they would be even and brighter.

OK.......any feedback on that?

I have heard that that the daisy chain method is better, but to me, I would imagine that they perform the same.

From personal experience with more than one kit (including HKS's Circle Earth and DIY's), I can honestly tell you that they do jack **** nothing and you'd be better off buying a hammer to club yourself to death with than spending a bill on a length of wire.

well i ask because im having a eletrical problem. my car drives for a little bit and lights start dimming and it dies. I've changed the battery and alternator, so im guessing its a bad ground? any clue what else it can be?

The best thing to do would be change out your exsiting grounds with oxygen free wires. And gold connectors. You can always just start rewireing stuff and make bigger wires for things. Like the battery ground.

I only noticed that my lights were brighter.
