Default APEXI grounding kit

I was wondering if any of u guys know a good website to buy an apexi grounding kit for an acura integra RS. and if guys have any experiences with these kits. Its a tossup between the APEXI or HKS grounding kit. And im looking to try to get this by friday, so ill probably need overnight shipping(only time i have to install it is on friday ). and i live in southern california

Why not just make your own? I made my own and I could tell it worked but just not sure if its as well as the Apexi or HKS etc kits. My lights did get brighter for sure. Saves you some money, these kits are overpriced in my opinion.

http://www.modacar.com/product...OUNDK/ , i found it from this website, never really heard much from this website, any good? but its weird the apexi kit is damn pricery but it has this weird voltage stabilization control unit. But under the model and year it says it can fit all cars. Does that mean the grounding wires will be too long or too short or it just wont fit right?

I can think of quite a few better ways to spend $200 for performance

You buy the ground kit for the size motor, like 4 cylinder and 6 cylinder, those have different sizes. Ground kits are universal. They fit every car. Hyper Ground Systems ground kit is probably a better value seeing it is under 100 dollars. Then again if you wanted you could spend 15 dollars at your local hardware store and make your own. The choice is yours.

i'll vouch for them too, quick shipping, but not quite as quick as some other places i've ordered from.. let's just say on-time and maybe a little earlier shipping

i know the apexi is so expensive because it has that one stabilization control unit thing. does that actually help?? the HKS is looking a little more promising also becuase of its price. im having ground issues right now with my car and my friend just got a TRD ground kit for his corolla and its workin out pretty good so far.

if you're having "ground issues" i would consider just isolating the bad grounds, i see the ground kit as more of an upgrade than a fix IMO
