Honestly? Just take about 3 meters of normal 8mm wire that you use to run the power for your audio system - take good gold plated end links for the wire - make a good earth point in your engine bay - and run all your wires from there to the earth points on your engine - it will be 10x cheaper - and it will perform the same. Ofcorse it wount be HKS...

It give the same grounding effect - what ever you do - it MIGHT be better if they there made from Silver wires or somthing  But really - putting this Grounding kit - you wount feel much of the differnece. But if you check the stock Groundd wires in your Engine bay - you will see that they are really tiny ones, and time has took his effect on them already and Cooper is already started rusting inside. Get some cheapo kit from Ebay and try it out. But as i suggested - instead of this - get some good battery clamps, one for ground and one for Power (Ussualy i used these then i was installing Car audio, so check car audio shops) these clamps have place for the 5 wires to go in them, put one on the battery ground terminal, run the 1 wire from it to the good ground on chasis, and then run all the other wires to the ground points - if you do all this clean and profesionally - it will look good, and will perform the same way as the other High brand stuff... -------------------- Ex celica owner - just a guy from other side of the pond...
