I purchased the Hot Earth Grounding System from Kastle's Korner:

The install was simple. The directions suggested using existing grounding points so I used as many as possible.
More Text to be added soon, I need to give them a try and will report back.

Well I've been living with the grounding mod for a few weeks now. I only have subjective comments at this time. Since the mod, my RS is running smoother overall. It idles better hot and when warm, also my intermittent hesitation when the car is cold has gone away. I'm glad I did the mod. Myself I have done most things I care to on my car and I consider this a finishing touch. I would consider it one of the later things to do not the first, if you are modding your car.
People that have done this mod have had comments that range from, "Wow! what a difference it drives like a new car." to "I haven't noticed a thing not worth doing" I fall somewhere in the middle, leaning a little towards the wow side.
One way I can describe the way the car feels is this. You know how your car feels on a nice crisp cold day when the temp and humidity is just right? The car just feels good and strong, that's the way it feels now all the time.
Hope this helps some,
