for 6mt's...no

for 5at's...yes

i'm basing this off of every review i've ever read. 6mt's have reported no difference (in the reviews that i've read) except for when they open the hoods and girls drool because they think red wires are cool...lol

as for 5at's...most of them have reported that in manumode there is much less lag and the shifting is more instantaneous.

i'm 5at and i think it looks cool i honestly cannot tell (because i never drove the car in manumode when i didnt have grounding wires) but my uncle drove it with and without grounding wires (he didnt know they were there when he drove my car the second time) and he was surprised at how much faster it shifted.

dont know if that helps...take it for what it's worth

mark, if i were youd i get them at least for the purpose of dressing up the engine bay. afterall, you do have a show car. then again sometimes "less is more" and it's better to have a cleaner setup that isn't so "busy." i guess it depends on what you have under the hood now...

okay imma stop ranting now

i'd go with with gordgees if i had an auto. here's a link to the review https://g35driver.com/forums/reviews/55081-gordgee-s-groundinggear.html imo it's pretty useless

on a 6mt unless you have a aftermarket stereo setup, but it does look nice...i have a stillen grounding kit on my g and i didn't notice any big difference...after i

installed it, it felt like the throttle response got a little bit better but it could've just been in my mind...i got it for free and it does dress up the engine bay nicely...

Throttle response (which I did not expect at all) was better, as is shifting. Not 'huge' differences, but anything that helps....(04 5AT)
