There are tons of threads on this, you do do a search and probably find something.

Here a link to the reviews @ i-club.

Good luck.

I have the HKS and I love it. I think it looks great and is easy to install, but a lot of people here think it is a waste of money.

The wires are already to length with connectors and there are very easy instructions to follow.

If you buy all of the stuff separately and search for everybody different version of the instructions then cut all the wires and put ends on them it is time consuming. That's just my opinion though.
I'm sure someone will post right after this that spending the money is stupid or something but it's your car dude, do what you want.

Here are some pics of the HKS Cirlce Earth System.....

I can get both HKS and the Hot Earth. The pluses to a good grounding system is increased HP, gas mileage, better sound to electronics, brighter lights, and better throttle response. Easy to install and it really makes the engine bay look good! It is only 5 wires total so you don't have wires flying around the place.



Hope this helps! Let me know if anyone is interested in a set!

Thanks,
Brian

Here is a couple pics on a WRX of the Hyper Ground Systems or "Hot Earth" as known in JDM terms.

The HKS only comes in Purple but the Hyper Ground comes in Blue, Red, Yellow, Smoke, Silver, and Gold.

The prices range from $125-$145 shipped.

Let me know if I can help!

Here's another long (and somewhat entertaining) thread with lots of PRO and CON arguments about grounding kits...

https://www.i-club.com/forums/showth...ight=grounding

BTW, just a note: that Scoobymods tutorial shows a lot of wires connected to the same few points. This can't be right, or is merely redundant. Electricity follows two rules: it always runs towards ground (zero point) and it takes the path of least resistance. If you connected two grounding wires to the same point, which has less resistance -- the pure copper grounding wires, or the steel or aluminum frame member or engine block? The copper wire, of course. Thus, the electricity would simply continue through the copper wire, and not exit at the ground point.

That's what the directions say to do with the hyperground kit. Even shows it on the box:

I'm not saying YOU were wrong, Peaty, I'm saying the instructions or the design of the grounding kit may be faulty. Having two or three cables grounded at a single point doesn't make any sense, when you're trying to move current from one place to another. A connection that crosses between other connections is known as a "short," plain and simple.

I wouldn't consider connecting a ground to a ground a short circut.

http://www.wordreference.com/english...=short+circuit

" A faulty or accidental connection between two points of different potential in an electric circuit, bypassing the load and establishing a path of low resistance through which an excessive current can flow.

When you are talking the same pole it's considered a union or connection not a short.
