How does a grounding kit work ?
Installing a grounding kit is a safe and reliable way of creating a low resistance ground path for your car. The kit provides direct ground paths from battery negative to body, chassis, and specific engine components to give a noticeable improvement in electrical circulation. Reduced electrical “noise” can improve ECU signals and throttle response resulting in better performance and reduction in flat spots, and many more benefits associated with improved grounding.

How is it fitted ?
Full step-by-step fitting instructions are provided with the kit
including a schematic diagram of your engine bay showing grounding cable
positions.
No expert knowledge is needed and fitting should take less than an hour,
usually far less.
Fitting involves the removal of specific, easily accessible, pre-existing
bolts which are positioned on effective grounding points around the engine
bay in order to ground each of the supplied cables in the correct order.
The stock earth strap is retained and is attached to the new negative
battery clamp.

- Gold plated negative battery terminal
