The benefit of a voltage stabilizer seems to be largely car-dependent. It may do nothing, it may help with flickering headlights, or it may actually affect your powerband if you're really lucky.  On the Mazda3 forum where I normally hang around we found out the Buddy Club Condenser actually helped smooth out a dip in the power band where the VVT kicked in. It also helped smooth out the shift on the ATX a bit, and caused the revs to drop a little faster when letting off the throttle. The voltage stabilizer can definitely go above and beyond a grounding kit. You probably aren't going to find out until someone tries it, though.

Running a tuner shop I have seen many dynoed vehicles with grounding kits and on a newer car with working factory grounds, I have yet to see any real gain! So in my opinion this mod is basically for posers. Your next mods should be a voltage stabilizer LOL. Before you start the attack, please don't send me any dyno graphs, as running a dyno 2-3 times can yeild a varience! Good mod for peace of mind, but thats about it.

dallas is right though, the most tangible benefit is on older engines, horsepower-wise. It may be all in my head, but after installing it, the engine did feel a bit smoother, and I think it can also help if you have a heavy duty sound system

Ground wires, or more specifically, a reinforcement of the vehicle's ground points will not hurt or damage your car.
It will provide for a strong ground for your audio comps, ease up just a bit of stress on the alternator, and the vehicle will mildly benefit from the reinforced ground points.
