Do you have pictures of where I can ground them on those parts?
If so send them to me at at sao@tith.net

there is no reason to send grounds everywhere and it could actually be worse in causing ground loops. Replace the factory points only.

the stock ground wires are very small and often get corroded or damaged. Upgrading them with thicker wire can improve current flow throughout the car's electrical system. can reduce dimming and sometimes make certain parts work better.

Well I just order a kit for my car and I was wondering did you notice any difference in performance when you upgrade your ground wires from the stock?

Me personally I did not notice any true performance upgrade as a result of the new grounding kit. I don't know if it was just my imagination, but it did feel that there wasn't so much of a lag but I don't know. It might have been that things just weren't as noticible as other mods.

no real difference, just assurance that you're getting the most out of your electrical accessories. the older accords actually use a 4 gauge ground wire stock.

one thing that will help is an upgraded headlight harness. it gives the bulbs a couple more volts that crap factory wiring robs. i have stock philips bulbs and they are noticably whiter that other stock cars on the road.
