I finished the Big Two upgrade and here is my cliff notes review.
I had problems with the install, because i had received two positive terminals the negative would not clamp onto the post so i had to wrap wire around it to make it thicker just so i could drive the car home, and ordered a new negative terminal but i hope these are resized for the smaller negative posts. The positive post also did not clamp on as tight as i would like it to, maybe i just have a small battery i don't know. I also had to go out and buy a 15 dollar wire cutter at home depot because it just made the job much easier(i should have bought it here Cheaper price) , the thick wire is a pain in the butt to cut without it, the only other problem i had was the thicker oem power cable has to stretch to reach the positive post even after i only snipped off the connector and nothing more, this makes me uncomfortable because its always under tension and i don't like the idea that it could pull it self out at sometime in the future. Took about 45 minutes to do it all. I will l take pics once i replace the negative terminal.
Over all it was a cheap and easy upgrade to do that i needed to be done asap anyways because my terminals were corroded. My headlights do seem brighter after doing the install and because i have some extra stuff, I am going to replace the small ground wire on the side of the motor connected to the motor mount. Probably wont do any thing in terms of improvement but it will look better . AS a price comparison at autozone similar style terminals that were gold plated cost about 15.99 per terminal. Parts express was a much better deal.
