Grounding kit - best one?

I've read a bunch of posts but no one seems to say which one is regarded as the best kit.

found one on ebay, hows this one?

For that price there is no way that is HKS......
Basically that's just an HKS emblem stuck on there.

"YOU ARE BIDDING ON A BRAND NEW UNIVERSAL GROUND WIRE SYSTEM WITH HKS LOGO !!"

Any grounding kit will work, but the gauge of the wire is the key. Better wire, better grounding characteristics. Most of the ones on Ebay will work, but not as well as actual ones made by the big brands.

HAHA Did you look at the bottom of that page? He's selling other grounding kits besides HKS that are from Greddy, Ralliart, etc. but are the EXACT same kits, just a different sticker, as Redstage noted. On top of your wire size, what type of connectors they have on the ends (gold plated?) and where you ground them to your car matters, also.

For the e-bay ones....which ever one you like the look of basically, if you are looking at that price range. Again, you will get increased grounding with almost any kit.

Better wires+Better connectors+ better mounting locations = Best grounding
