Question Does a Grounding kit do much with 100k+mile 03 evo?

title pretty much says it all. i was wondering if a grounding kit by HKS or Apexi actually do something.
my car is 03 with 105k miles on the body. 10k on the motor and stock wiring. is this something worth paying $100+ for?
which brand would you recommend?

I had a homemade kit on my car for years. I took it all off recently. No noted difference

I made my own with 4ga jumper cable wire. It's very precisely covered in electrical tape so it's kinda hidden.

I wouldnt think adding more is really necessary. There are some stock grounds I did replace with thicker gauge cable. I sourced my own and soldered my own connectors though. End cost was much cheaper than a 'kit' as well. If you do want to do it I suggest not spending the money on these kits and just go source your own cables.

Total waste of money. Their usefulness has long been debunked as placebo effect.
