Default Power Earthing Cables?

I'm thinking of getting some some power earth cables from Japan. I've read quite a bit about them and the general concensus (in Japan) is that they increase low and midrange torque and the car also idles smoother.

Touch wood I have nothing wrong with the idle on my car but I wouldn't say no to more power!

They will cost about

I think they provide better earting points and that's it. The guys in Japan swear by it.

Advantages:

Smoother idle
Throttle is more responsive
Low and mid range improvement
Don't need to inform the insurance (I don't think)

Cost - They range from

I've not heard anything about these before, but I do have some "uneven" idling at the moment so I could be interested as well, (if you were thinking group buy???? )
