Is it worth to spend $200 for ground wire in auto?

I have an auto coupe. I am planning to do a small mod. $200-$300. Is groundwire worth? which one is good?

What about Spring? I want to do that so bad!!! I want 1 inch drop only. Which set is good? Tein S? Tein H? I want something safe for my shocks.

there IS resistance. maybe you had your meter on the wrong setting. however, is there enuf resistance to spend 200 bucks on grounding?.. HELL NO! i could think of MUCH better ways to spend 200 clams.

Search the Forum. There is little difference after CAI. The long time members of the forum will agree and they also agree that the best bang for your buck is Plenum Spacer and/or Gordgee's Grounding Gear.

Allows the front cylinders to breath better. Stock plenum is lower in front for stying reasons, etc. so they would not have to raise the hood. But a 5/16" spacer will still allow you to keep the engine cover on and get better throttle response across most the band.

+1 on the spacer pulls a lot harder....and the grounding wires arent 200 bucks...you can find some from some of the guys on the forum that makes them for about half..

go with Eibach pro-kits. It gave the car a great stance and ride quality.

Groundwires...that's not even on my list. Maybe if you've done everything else, or if it's a show car. Otherwise...come on...
