What are you looking for? Optima?

You have to get a specific sized Optima to fit easilly or you can be like me and pop the clip to give you 3 more inches of Positive wire play and use the normal Optima.

Yeah you need reverse unless you have custom wiring

Just make sure it's neg on the right, pos on the left on the short side. How about Odyssey batteries, even smaller!

Optima makes a battery that works for our car without any modification. They also make a 17LB battery in both red and yellow tops, that will work. Check them out on this site: http://www.autobarn.net/opbat92cca.html

Optima here

I got one for $70 at interstate batteries. It's one of those where customers claim that they aren't working or something. They test it out and then resell and offer 1 yr. warranty with it. Works fine with me. I popped the clip also and made the positive reach! Heavy though.
