A cheap socket...

In my opinion, don't bother with Optima. They've had an apparent drop in quality over the past years.

Look at the Exide AGM. Cheaper and better. I fit a 24F instead of a 35 in my Z. Larger, more CCA, but fits perfectly. I know it's too late, but figure I'd recommend it anyway.

Exide Pure Lead, or Odyssey Extreme, which is the same as the Exide Pure Lead last I saw, are both good options as well, but are priced high.

Good Advice!

My Yellow top is well over 2 years old. Not a single issue with it at all. My car is frequently at stereo shows and get togethers, and gets a ton of stereo play time in Acc. position, so I would say its used harder than most. (this is driving 4 amplifiers, mind you)
