Those faces mean confuse for what you are asking. Grounding kit and handling I don't think it goes together. Unless you are talking about a body kit.

BTW, I don't want to make anyone feel stupid because everyday I learn something different.

i say do it i wanna see pics! if i had the money i would do it my altima cuz after 105 i feel like there is too much air underneath the car. as for the Z between 140 and 155 it seems to be ok but there is always room for improvement.

P.S.

I just get so irritated with those smileys cuz some poeple seem so snotty or ignorant with them. But anyways..... no its not a body kit. The grounding kit....as stated on their website, supposed to help with the handling of the car and your losing horsepower w/o them. They're just some type of wires. I don't have much more information other than that. Do you know what a grounding kit does?

wat? What do you classify as a grounding kit? Like the other guy said a "grounding kit" wont help with handling.

A grounding kit is supposed to "help your car run better by stabilizing electrical noise and voltage spikes and equalizing resistance and voltage between various ground points" thus improving ECU signals and throttle response resulting in better performance and reduction in flat spots.

But I haven't seen anything concrete to prove this yet.

If you're talking about those wires it won't do anything. You may think after the install your car runs better etc. I've seen one dyno from Nissan sport magazine and it resulted in a loss of 2whp.

Sorry... I stand corrected.... and in my mind I was thinking about a different part for the car. My fault. The grounding kit is suppose to increase HP ( releasing hidden hp from the stock setup) and improve shifting while keeping the engine more quiet
