Ground Kit
 
Has anybody run a ground kit here? I am obviously not looking for horsepower but I run an amp subs, and a 55watt/channel deck and i was thinking that this could help. I put in MSD ingniton on top of all that a while ago and i think it was too much. now the MSD is pulled and the car acts teh same with the electrical system bouncing all over the place and such. lights strobe, car doesnt charge but its totaly dependant on temperature. the colder it is the more fucked up it runs.

Trying to find out if this will help calm my ---- down.

I don't have near the electrical load you do, but I noticed a difference when I made mine. Headlights didn't dim when the brakes or other electrical devices were on, interior lights as well for example.

Well I have had the battery tested and alt tested and both are good so I am goign to grab one and swap out my fuse box for the last time and see if that solves my issues. if so the fucker will see boost next weekend provided it runs good on the basemap.

hoping to get some new suspension for Xmas as well. Maybe some adjustable Tokiko's and some sprint springs is abotu where im leaning. Anybody know a good spring that only drops like around 1"-1.5"? best bang for buck was sprint so far.

Does suspension techniques make a spring kit for your car? Their drops are usually around 1" and geared more towards performance handling than slamming a vehicle to the ground.

Yes they do but they are 1.5 fron and 2" drop rear and I dunno about that. I was thinking that it might look goofy. I've read that the sprint springs tend to settle around 1" - 1.5"

You don't have to buy one, you can make one yourself from stereo cable and a grounding bar from home depot. cost you like $20 bucks or so.
