they don't help unless you had weak grounds in the first place.

Matt, my grounds were nearly falling out so I added new grounds with 4 gauge and it helped. My idle doesn't fall below 500 that often anymore. If at all.

I spent 2 bucks for the brass ends, and 5 bucks(5ft) for the 4 gauge. Some sandpaper and some rust protection thing I already had.

If you have a new car, forget it. Its a waste of time and money. If you have a 9X with 300,000km, do it!

if you wanna do it just do it yourself, don't buy a kit, it's a huge waste of money....
