Are there any specific grounding wires to get?

Just curious if there are any grounding wires to get for a GSX? I'm having alternator problems and I'm guessing its the grounding wires, so I looking at these wires on ebay, just curious if theres another place that sells a grounding kit for the GSX because these don't look all that legit, even though they say theyre made by Greddy.

Why do you think it's a grounding wire problem. What is your alt. doing or not doing?

i really think that would be a waste of money. just look at the add, the guy claims 8-10 horsepower for hooking up extra grounds to the engine. that kinda stuff is a joke if you ask me.

well at night, When I'm driving my car lights/ gauges dims when I upshift, downshift, and put it in netreal (sp), I posted eariler on this and someone told me to just get grounding wires first, since itd be cheaper, than getting a whole new alternator. It can't be my battery because thats like 2 months old.

So I'm not sure whats wrong.

Getting grounding wires will not "cure" your alternator if it's failing. Take the car to an auto parts store that can test the battery and alternator. Most Autozones/Advance Autos/etc have the equipment to do this and it won't cost you anything. I'd rather have peace of mind that my alternator is in good condition than have a hope that some grounding wires will make the problem go away.
