Default Grounding wire kits......

I searched and couldn't find what I was looking for.

I wanted to know if there was any preference to which brand to get or where to get one.
I wouldn't be able to make one myself. and i would like it to be blue.


thanks.

What are you planning to ground.

Easiest/best thing to do would be just measure distances on what you plan on adding wires to and buying that much. Making your own just requires snipping/stripping wire.

Get some 4/8g speaker wire, cable terminal rings, heat shrink and make your own for like 15 bucks.

I made my own, the problem with the kits is the wire is too long, or too short, or they only gave you one of a certain legnth and so on. make your own, its less waste of money

honestly, the kit wont make it any easier, I bought a kit for my accord, and only used half of it...the rest was a total waste of money.
I ground the block, re grounded the battery, and I ran a ground wire from the alternator ( I think) I think a voltage stablizer or hyper ground kit by sun auto, or Apexi is a good investment, both are dyno proven to produce 1-2 Hp if that intrests you

i made my own and honestly can't tell a difference before and after. it made the engine bay look slightly better, but i don't feel it improved anything for me. i used 8 gauge twisted copper with gold terminals.
