I have noticed many hardcore rice boys with crazy mods, turbos, and grounding kits. I was just wondering what a grounding kit will do for your car? This may sound stupid, but I thought a grounding kit was to reduce the static eletricity from those cold winter days. icon_lol.gif

to make it short and simple.
they make more of a bigger impact on an auto transmission.
for smoother shifts.
which are electrical [audio] type of wires under the hood.

just to get you on some update:
if you have an IS.
a new product from tbko has came out called the electronic shift kit.
in this kit, it just basically makes faster shifts.
its very nice, and not too pricey. around 150-180, comes with a free shirt. icon_biggrin.gif
but i've heard nothing but good things about it, and it just came out like last week?
this shift kit is made into a module. with just one switch to turn it on and off.

if you are an e-shift is300 owner, i highly reccomend both of these kits to get rid of your lagggggggggggG. :wink:

^^^ TBKO's kit is not a grounding kit... he's asking about grounding kit.

For IS300 grounding kits, check out here for the info:

Many IS300 owners have ordered the kit and everyone has postiive reviews about it.

Actually it does.. There's plenty of 5spd owner who got the kit. The maker of the kit drives a 5spd. icon_lol.gif

It improves idle and throttle response on the 5spd, and a little better gas milage.. icon_biggrin.gif
