Just take a few measurements on what size battery you want and need. Then head to Costo, I hear they have best prices. Then match it up. Pep Boys is about $15-20 more I hear. Unless you're in need of a deep cycle battery for a NICE audio system that is going to drain your battery repeatedly, then you can just get the red top. As for me, I was able to get a battery with almost the same CA and CCA for WAYYYY less money. So, that's why I say, unless you need to mount the battery upside-down or on it's side, or you do BAJA type truck racing, or you have a very powerful audio system, then don't waste the money on Optima. Well, except for the fact that they will last about 6 years instead of 3, you wont' need one. :) They are nice batteries, but I just got a top of the line regular battery instead. : According to their website, they don't have one that will fit. Replys: Orange top drops right in. it's the same specs as the red top, but it's got the posts reversed so it drops right in. nm Matt (93SE) 11:10:06 9/28/2003 (0) I ended up getting a red top... NicZ (93SE 89GXE ) 15:28:35 9/27/2003 (3) Rather than use a spacer, I just used a tap/die set to extend the threads on the battery hold-down bar. n/m Kaleb (Black '93 GXE 5spd) 17:42:38 9/27/2003 (1) Exactly what I did. Only I had to cut them a little shorter to fit it in my battery box in the trunk. n/m The Max (92 J30 Maxima (turbo project nearing completion)) 19:15:00 9/27/2003 (0) I have 670 CCA and 3 year free replacement warranty too on my Duralast Gold. $75 :) n/m Aaron (92 SE Auto) 15:31:22 9/27/2003 (0)
