a ground kit can go anywhere the end of the wire will have a good contact point..usually you can follow the stock grounds, just look for them...start at a certain point and then put that wire on the next ground and so forth..like a chain.

also, if you plan to put them in a spot with paint, be sure to scratch it off with a razor blade because paint is a barrier.

I've got sunn auto grounding kit. I'll have to get the instructions or go to their website for instructions for install. Let me know if not I'll look and see how I have things grounded.

Basically, put it wherever there is a semi-important sensor.

To reduce resistance in the system. The original grounding may be "adequate", but it isnt always "optimal"
