Default Greddy Stablizer + Ground Wires....Anyone Have This?

I was just wondering if anyone had the greddy stablizer and or grounds installed. I saw a package deal on ebay:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/GREDD...spagenameZWDVW

and was curious about it. What kinda effects does this have on the car in real world conditions? Basically does it feel like it does anything. Looks cool if nothing

It looks like any other groundingkit, just with a some what higher price then some. Mostly just help stabalize your electric system. So when you roll down your windows, the headlights should not dim.

yeah, when buying on ebay make sure you pay attention to the titles and descriptions...


That listing is for a greddy "STYLE" system. It's a knock off item that comes with some greddy stickers for you to put on when you get the parts. There are alot of items listed on ebay with the word STYLE in the description.

they don't always fix that, believe me. a better battery does though.

but as for grounding kits, i get an extra 4mpg since i put one on. didn't really do anything for my idle either.

is a "name brand" ground kit (i.e. - hks hyper ground system) going to yield better result than an ebay generic one? and is the extra cost worth it?

i'm considering getting one since they supposedly work pretty good for on the electrical system and it'll save me some gas. i'm just worried it's crap and doesn't work. the average cost is like $50.00 right? that's the best i can find.

you could always buy a 10ft section of heavy gauge grounding wire from home depot or some nice speaker wire from a stereo shop and some crimp on terminals and DIY. thats what i did. cost me a total of $20 i think.

so i went ahead and bought the voltage stabalizer and ground wire kit. total cost was $53.00 shipped. not cheap but i think i can live with it. i'm going to see what, if anything, it does to both my electrical system and gas mileage. i'll post up soon.

get the ground wires because they definately work. i get an extra 15-20 miles more per tank. the voltage stabilizer was crap and did nothing at all.

btw, i'm selling a voltage stabilizer.
