Default Difference b/t Stillen Grounding Kit & This One??

I have found two grounding kits which look the exact same, with very different prices. One is a custom kit made by someone with a Z, and its around $75 i think.

The other is made by Stillen, and they look the exact same, but this one is $129.00.

http://www.stillen.com/sportscars_de...d=30208&page=1

why is there such a huge difference in price?? Does Stillens kit work better, or gain better results or somethin?? Someone clue me in, because if they both look the same and work the same, im going for the cheaper one.

Unless Stillens kit has some magical powers....

None, Stillen is just overpriced as usual.

And if you look at the Stillen pics you can see that they stuff two 4 guage wires into one crimp on several wires to save money on those gold plated connectors (and increase their margins even more). As long as the crimps are designed to take two wires, then this is not really a bad thing though.

With Stillen, you're paying for what they call a brand name. I wouldn't bother, because both will do the exact same thing.

It appears that the Stillen kit includes wires which are crimped together at one terminal for the mounting spots where multiple wires come together. Convenient?- yes, worth an extra $50?- NO
I agree- the Stillen kit is overpriced. Plus, the quality of Insaneamine's kit is excellent and his instructions are outstanding!!
