They're probably better than nothing but you could do a lot better....

There's been a lot of discussion about this. If you do a search you'll find heaps of info. Here's a couple of links to get you started:

Just FYI our alternators have a voltage stabalizer built into them.

will the ground wires help with a car if i'm not having the probs with touching the brakes and losing power and all that jazz?

I think the one he is talking about is an aftermarket one that hooks directly to the battery +/- terminals. I believe it is a similar principal to an audio system's capacitor, supplying a surplus in power when your electrical system demands it. It's supposed to help your coil out. I saw a dyno run from one of the import magazines where they attatched it to a civic (yeah... real origional with the Honda I know...). Some how that little box makes power. They found a consistant 1.9 or so hp increase on a stock motor over 3 different runs. Personally I wouldn't buy one off of ebay, but if you are lookin to squeeze every drop out of a built motor it may be worth a shot.
