I would suggest a 4 guage or 1 size smaller. 2 guage is too big and would require a huge bolt to hold it on....it would make a huge hole in your firewall and is unecessary.

Yeah, I would suggest getting a 4 gauge wire. That is what I have on my car now and it seems to work fine.

I'm with the other guys. It's a no brainer. You cant have too many grounds so a couple of 4 gaugers works fine (I use those since 4 AWG starter cable is cheap).

Good luck.

I left the Stock Braided Wire alone and added a 4G Wire to the Front of the Engine and bolted it to the Swaybar Mount.
