Default grounding kits

What is the purpose of these electrical grounding kits? Can someone fill me in on what they do and do they help with power?

Thanks.

Not on any Toyota I've seen. Other makes seem to benefit from them for various reasons, but primarily because they are deficient in their basic design. Much like there is little to gain from intakes and exhausts on Toyotas, grounding kits are a visual performance item on Toyotas.

I don't mean a ground effects kit. I mean an electrical grounding kit. Sorry for the confusion.
