Wix Racing, not the non-racing Wix filter.

If you have the remote filter mounted where the OEM transverse spring was you need a short filter for ground clearance.
Wix is below the oil pan.
I use Mobil 1- 111

Height of filters
M1-111 3.31
M1-203 4.5
M1-302 5.75

Are you running your fender liners up front? If not have you had any problems with that? I was worried about the oil lines and tank being exposed to rocks and what not coming off the wheel.

GM/Delco PF 454, its short enough for clearance. Worked great with the full ARE and Katech pump I had. Its a heavy duty truck filter that held up to high pressures and had a good flow rate too. Was mounted up in leaf pocket. PM me your email for pics if needed.

The PF454 is the shorter version of that.

We use a PF454 as it gave the most clearance on the top side and under the car so nothing would hit.
