Naw bro... get the Mitsubishi Earthing Kit.

Various grounding kits were installed on the same EVO. Following each installation was a dyno run.

After completing the runs, it was determined the Mitsubishi Earthing Kit was most effective. Don't settle for anything less.

I noticed after installing my DIY ground kit, the vibration w/ the AC on was noticeably reduced. Search the "how to" forums for "DIY ground". I put my ground kit together using 4-gauge speaker wire and gold terminals. Total cost in parts was about $45.

I've got the Mitsubishi earthing kit because I bought it from a 3rd party (new) for $50, otherwise I definately would have made my own. I think it made my headlights a bit brighter?, no noticable change in idle/vibration ect. The car does vibrate a bit at idle, its not a luxury car. The Install Is easy except for 1 bolt on the back of the engine thats a real pain to reach.

My 2c.

Question

You can get any grounding kit you want. I am pretty much a car dummy and I was able to bolt them on myself. I am not sure what the gauge is on the "Bishi" grounding kit, but I am thinking 4 gauge is whats on mine. I had to plan a route from one side of the chassis to the other. The hardest thing was finding bolts long enough to replace the short stock ones (when overlapping cables). Not sure what other kits recommend for grounding points but its pretty much anything metal. Other than myself having to take a pic of my setup does anyone here have a pic of their engine bay and where they bolted their grounds???

The wambat kit is just as good as the mitsu one. Why would you want to pay over $200 for a few feet of wire. I have the wambat kit and I am very happy with it. The wambat kit is worth the price.

Word !!

Besides, why would you spend all that $$ just for a ground kit. Wombat Kit

How do you know they are not fudging numbers to sell more kits. Are their any unbiased vendors that have the experience with testing all the kits?

Unless there was an unbiased vendor doing the testing already.

Thanks
