    Ground Kits

    I'd like to know the basics like where I mount it at and where the ground wires goto. Does it really help that much to get?

    if you have a high power sound system then i'd say yes. but otherwise if your just looking to add horsepower there are probably better things you can spend 150$ on.

    Ha, if you decide to get one, just make sure your connections are good...or else you'll end up making a post like "ah crap, somebody help me!"

    I have the Apexi super ground or w/e its called. I didn't feel any gains, but I chirp my tires into second alot more now than usual and my room mate said he sees gains, but I don't have any numbers.

    grounding kits help with idle and helping out ur voltage system stay more regular basically. It will help out ur system somewhat also. It uses the same mounting points as ur stock grounding plus a few other ones. The groundfusion grounding kit is found at www.groundfusion.com. It comes with detailed colored pictures for 7th and 8th gen corollas. Its worth it if you do it right. But again.... it depends on what your looking for

    i got Pivot RAIZIN Voltage Stablizer which includes Pivot Grounding kit... i would say there is improvement in my car but u'll get use to it after a few weeks... big changes i found was the sound system is better ex. sub hits harder and bass is more tight.. but thats not all, another big changes i found was bulbs last longer way longer... so therefore, u don't hav to replace your bulbs that often...

    I got 2 no-name batteries in my car... 1 for audio 1 for the car, but I have them paralleled up, and it works better than the red top optima I had alone and I didn't spend more than 60$ on the batteries.

    I do have the grounding kit I made for the corolla myself and the second battery acts like a capacitor :D a big ass one like 2 farads or something like that, I know that my 2 250RMS and 600max plants and nothing dims even with all the lights up *dance*
