1. I only know of the HKS one and yes it's good

2. They improve the earthing in your vehicle....

3. Not that I'm aware of

4. Yep

Si Skippy has the HKS one (the one I've ordered.... ;) )

to be honest i wouldnt bother wasting your money - you wont notice any difference. the kit is meant to provide extra " high quality" earthing points for the electrical system - total toss use a multi meter and put it to any metallic part and you resistance will be virtually zero or less.

im not sure if they are easily available in the Uk but i know one or two members have had them fitted. as for it fitting the IS200 - not sure but as it is just some lengths of plastic coated cable and a few bolts i dont see why not.

They increase powertransfer to the wheels?

It's no big deal ..

Modern car wiring is made just big enough to do the job ...

usual rules apply ... cost saving, weight etc etc.

In some cases there may be a benefit in beefing it up.

Most likely are 'engine -> body' and 'body -> battery'.

No need to buy fancy kits ... except for the 'bling bling' value :zee:

Just beefing up (or doubling up) the existing cable will do the same.

Done this on several previous cars but as part of the ICE install.

I must agree with Tony,

I think it's bling-bling value out weigh's it's conductive performance.

Saying that, It looks bl**dy good, and adds to the overall under bonnet effect on show cars.,

Hey, if you can afford it, then why not... it wont do any harm!!!

Hey Mat, did anything come of this? I nearly ordered off a kit today, but then thought i'd search first.

fits to the engine earth point, the headlights earth,gearbox earth, manifold earth and a couple i can't remember as well as onto the body itself

I installed a ground/voltage stabilizer kit this weekend.

Can't be certain of the improvements as i changed the air filter, oil filter, and oil at the same time. Engine definately appears to rev smoother, but this could just be the flush and renewed engine oil.

Nothing to do with the ECU losing its power supply and rebooting as part of the installation process, then?

[marcus]

I have a nice Greddy One to fit when i get me car back :D
