if its in the right place, it improves things by giving a better electrical flow. Ie improves idle and drivability especially when there is sound systems installed. it equalizes the resistance and voltage between various grounding points from what i know.

Generally only older cars benefit from grounding kits.. not worth the money on newer cars... stock grounding is good enough.

Unless you want engine bling. But honestly, how often do you show off your underpowered r18a or k20 in the FDs?

but i thought its good to get a grounding kit if you have some sort of high powered sound system installed?

thats normal, that happend to me aswell...u can either get a new battery, new alternator or a capacitor. ive got a stinger capacitor, it's pretty good man, u can notice the difference in sound too, my headlights dont dim unless i pump it really loud. sum ppl hate capacitors and sum ppl luv em...i guess it comes down to preference. i havnt gotten a new grounding kit but i hear it makes ur system sound better...but dimming lights nd shit, that happens to almost every1...its a sign of a fully sik system bro
