i think its for better distribution of electricity in your car.. to protect your car stereo pud labi na naka set-up ka.. constant ang power supply niya..

correct.....

you get best benefit if your car is 5 years old and older. for newer cars, di nimo manotice effect. the stock ground system tends to deteriorate in time mao nga kung karaan na ang awto, kinanlan patabang sa GW kit.

@vernie: wat shops can you recomend who do this service? give me a price estimate please..thank you

I believed any automotive shop that do electrical service and troubleshooting can help you. Price may vary from shop to shop. This can also be done by yourself with simple tools. It is very important you attach the wires on bare metal part and you need to sand each part to be sure you'll get better contact.

Some stores will install what you bought from them for free, just make sure you're there watching during the installation process, it is a good learning opportunity for everyone involved.

+1 to this

yes its true that its a great learning opportunity for those who are interested. ug mas makasabot sa imong car and its condition. i have learned many things about my car and how it works by just asking questions and observing people when they are doing something on my car from a reputable shop. kung naa nakay nahibaw-an mas confident ka mohikap ug magmaniho sa imong car.

or you can buy good grounding cables.. and search for ground points sa net or youtube.. just be sure na imong liha-an og maayo ang points to bare metal so that you have a good contact points.. usually from negative sa battery to left and right side body of the car, then sa valve cover and near radiator are some of the points.

HKS GROUNDING KIT (MADE IN JAPAN)

What is the benefit of a grounding kit?
Any electrical component requires power and ground to function properly. If you have a stereo system, and have a bad ground, you will get static, bad quality of sound, and poor performance from your system. The same is true for the electrical system of cars, trucks, SUV's and vans. If the electrical system has a bad ground, or a barely adequate ground, you can get lower gas mileage, inefficient spark from your spark plugs and inefficient spark plug wires. When you add a grounding kit like the HKS grounding kit, you add more grounding points to your vehicle to allow your electrical system to function at full capacity, which can make every electrical component operate more efficiently, often increasing horsepower,brightness of headlamp, delivering better gas mileage, and crisper stereo systems!

Will I actually notice a difference?
Absolutely! Grounding kits have been tested by many different sources including magazines which have always shown a power gain. Depending on your application the lowest power gain we have seen was 2 horsepower, and the highest horsepower gain we have been was 16 horsepower. Aside from added horsepower and torque, you will notice every aspect of your car react quicker and more crisp, such as your throttle response. The car or truck will feel as though it wants to pick up speed easier. Another benefit would be noticeably brighter headlight bulbs. In addition, from the moment you start your car or truck, you should notice a smoother idle.
