Go to you local car audio dealer buy the cables, connectors, etc... and build it yourself.
The performance gain isn't huge by any means 9barely noticable) not worth a $150+ kit, but for $25 worh of parts its worth it.

I would probably save a little more and get the HyperVoltage Kit from Sun. You can make your own grounding wires from Monster Cable, though I do have both the HyperVoltage and HyperGround systems on my RX300. The HyperVoltage system is way more noticeable than the Hyperground (ran a few tests).

I have pictures of my setup on http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2215309/5

For performance, I can notice a much sharper throttle response, no lag.

Contact points should be engine block, transmission, body, alternator, throttle body (though the latter two were tough in my vehicle).

When I put both of them together, it was a tad more noticeable than with just the hypervoltage system.

On the track (1/4 mile), I used to run 2.8 60 foots and with this system, I can hit 2.7s more easily.

WHAT WOULD I RECOMMEND?

Before you thrown down your hard earned $$$, get an Optima battery, cheaper than both if you get it at a place like Costco.

My only reason for getting the HyperVoltage and HyperGround was that I wanted to add as many modifications as possible to my RX300 (and unlike the GS series, we virtually no aftermarket performance products).

i just installed my homemade grounding kit, other than the fact that 8ga cable looks nice all over your car, i did not feel a diffrence in performance. glad i did not pay retail. i did notice the idle get a little better, but that could be all in my head.

To make sure all your efforts are not wasted, make sure all the wires are actually grounded. I noticed that the 2 wires I hade going to the inside fire wall were bolted w/ a bolt but when I checked the other end that connected to the fender it was not gounded.
I Used a test light connected to the battery and touched the ends of the ground wires.

Also make sure that your wires are connected to a "true" ground, the paint must be removed at the cnnection point oherwise it will be a poor ground.
As I said it is not a huge difference.
