well, I want to refine this question b/c it's too open ended and I'm curious as well...

1. Is a earthing kit good in general?
2. is the HKS a good earthing kit out of all earthing kits?

I like mine, but I cant say its added any hp or anything. I would say my idle smoothed out a little and maybe less static on the radio. And I will probably get flamed for this but there is a huge difference in quality between the real thing and the junk on ebay. I bought an ebay set for $8 and it was kind of cheap. I ended up getting the real thing and it was much nicer.

i had this installed on my wrx... and it really did smoothen out my ride, but as for HP... i didnt feel anything... i also heard that sun engineering or something like that makes a good one.

i have never bought into the claim that these produce hp. the only thing it can possibly do is make the electric system flow a little easier. not like that makes it easier to turn the alternator or anything. i would be surprised if anyone can realistically explain how they add power.

I've never had one but i've seen what happens when your car isn't grounded correctly. If its done right i'm sure it can only help.

I like mine. It felt like it improved my throttle response alittle bit but that's just me. There were very minor routing issues with the wires nothing to really complain about.

no no no, it's doesn't ad hp. all it does is giving a better grounding. your lights will be brighter, the radio less noisy. The idle smoothler. if you want reall sutff get the Sun Auto Hyper GT voltage system
