grounding kit + rear strut bar installed today
i recieved my buddyclub grounding kit and mazdaspeed rear strut bar yesterday in the mail. installation took about an hour. i can really tell the difference with the grounding kit. i dont get vibrations anymore when the car is in idle, and the throttle response is faster. i also feel a little more torque, maybe.... some said grounding kits increase gas mileage, i guess ill have to find out.

What the hack is a grounding kit? What does it do over some extra cable?
I'm planning two extra cables, one from the battery and one from the engine to a shaven patch of steel on the car frame.
That and a new set of NGK Iridium should improve gas milage.

a grounding kit allows more electric current to run though the car and stablizes it. its a really cheap mod to do and u can make one yourself. the installation is pretty simple, just place the wires according to size on top of the original grounding points. mine was a expensive one costed me about $150. supposibly it supposed to add 2-3 horse power, more torque, brighter lights, increased battery life, and better gas mileage. mine gives off a cool LED blue glow that shines really bright. ill take a picture tonight in the dark.

You should shorten them up and/or tie them off. Looks good though.

i also noticed that my Itrip for my ipod no longer has static when i listen to my music. IMO getting a grounding kit is one of the best mods ive done to my car. i coulda spent 30 bucks for an ebay one, but i like it when girls trip when they see it.

I still don't understand why people waste money on grounding kits
