I was wondering what the main differences are in the Hyper Kits that go for 2 bills and the ebay kits that go for like $20 or so.

The most important thing is, does it really help or make a difference on NEW CARS? Lke an 06-07 model ? I just want to get something that's worthwhile for a new car if you know what I mean.

I can understand how it will help older models due to wear, tear, and corrosion; and that people have reported brighter lights and what not.

Any input is appreciated.

 

I'll put it to you this way, a grounding kit will not hurt the car, whether you think it works or not is up to you haha.

What brand would you guys recommend?

I see some that attach to the terminal like the cheapo ebays, and some that have little wires and just the box.

 

Really they're all the same, a wire is a wire, it's hard to mess up on them. All of them are probably the same quality.

 

Save yourself a few bucks and do it yourself.

It's from a subaru forum, but the concept is the same.

 

Seriously, make it yourself. Most of the eBay stuff uses crappy connectors and cheap-*** wire. For $20 you can buy yourself some good wire, and more importantly some good connectors. Measure, cut, strip, crimp, install, done.

 

What about some kits that have the box to regulate?

 

A "box" to regulate what? Either it's grounding or it's not.

It looks different from the ebay DISC on negative terminal. And way less cables than that as well.

 

what exactly does a ground kit do anyway?

 

i have an idea, DONT DO IT! your car is brand new, and the first thing you want to do is go cutting wires? i think grounding your car is a load of bs. just get some cash and do a nice mod, upgrade your speakers or something. ****

 

You're not cutting wires remo, you're adding grounding points to multiple places on the car, and swapping out the skinny wire for thicker grounding cable. supposedly it smooths out idle and a bunch of other crap

 

FishyMan...
I checked the link. Very stylish high quality LED.

It seems to me they are using a condensor (capacitor) to remove electrical noise and spikes, something the battery itself is very good at doing. The system installed properly probably won't hurt anything, but I still very much doubt it's necessity. In fact, all sensors are wired with their own discrete grounds anyway. They are typicaly low current devices as it is. I see no need to ground intake manifolds, etc. Like I said, it won't hurt, but there are better things to spend $200 on IMO. And no, I'm not suggesting K&N stuff. That's another pet peeve of mine.
