Default Grounding kit, is it worth it?....

I read posting in the search but none mentioned the benefits ( besides stereo ) of installing a grounding kit. Any info would be appreciated

Fun, any mod is 5 HP... seriously mostly a 'potential problem' avoidance technique, not critical

electrical componenets.

Default You can SEE the difference in the lights in the car, hear it in the performance of the stereo

and feel it in the responsiveness of the car.

We do not have well grounded cars. You can measure a difference also.. someone on the UK forum.. an EE IIRC measured it with a high quality calibrated multimeter.
