Question Is this product on the "Up and Up" or is it B.S.?

I have Gordee's Grounding kit installed and LOVE it, but keep seeing members here that have a grounding kit (any type of grounding kit) also have a "Voltage Stablizer".

What do you guys think about this on e-bay. It's sounds too cheap to be true.

Any .02 would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks Guys!

both voltage stablizer and grounding kits are a waist of time and money

I've read that the grounding kit can help the 5ATs much more than the 6MTs so grounding is probably worthwhile if you have auto. I've never ever seen anywhere that some $8 part is required to stabilize the voltage in any car's electrical system though... I'd be very concerned about connecting that thing to my $30,000 car.

Sun Auto is a very well reputable Japanese dealer/vendor from what I've read in hundreds of "tuner mags", and they have the same product. Should I get the product from them?

http://www.intakeone.com/Denso/SunHVSGT.htm

I know the few that have posted their .02's must not have this product, but I've seen plenty of members here that do - Can any of you chime in and let me know your .02's on this please.

As always, Thanks Guys!

These are a joke, seriously, why would the car need to be grounded any better than it was from the factory?

What does a grounding kit do? A shop that put in my radar detector told me that I have a weal ground near the top of my car (the dome light doesn't turn on when i open the door, but it will turn on when I push it). Will a grounding kit help?

bunch of marketing IMO. Looks kinda cool if you want to dress up your engine bay, otherwise I wouldn't bother

There is a switch that you need to put in the right position to select how you want the light to come on. Just put it in the right place and the door will turn the light on. You don't need another ground.

Aren't the effects of grounding kits just "theories"? Can you actually prove there is a noticable difference with em installed?
