    What's the best type of ground kit?

    My battery seems to be having issues... It builds corrosion on the terminals every 2 months or so and my lights seem to dim easily. The battery is relatively new, so I'm hoping it's not the problem. Would a ground kit help stop these problems? In any case, what are some good brands for them?

    Make yor own kit. Would be alot cheaper and would be about the same quality. Go to home depot and get 4 gauge wire with some eyelets and follow Vamp's DIY ;)

    Run solid gold vains from your battery terminals to the car! But if your not bill gates Monster Cable would probably be my 2nd choice :D

    Any high quality 8ga or 4ga audio cable (8ga is plenty, espececially if you don't have much in the car that draws much power, such as a few big subs)... with gold terminals... start by replacing your factory grounds, then, for good measure (I don't know where they run on your car), run one from the alternator to the body, from the intake manifold to the negative battery terminal, transmission to negative battery and body, valve cover to negative battery and body, throttle body to negative battery...

    That should be plenty... heh... that's what im in the process of doing on my car, if the rain can ever let up!

    you don't need a ground kit to fix terminal corosion.

    go grab a can of battery terminal stuff.. it's a spray

    search partsamerica for 80369

    to get them clean before use mix some water and baking soda, should eat the dried acid right off the posts.
