I use Kinetik Audio 2400s. They are big, but they fit, I have 6 in there right now.

Kinetik also makes smaller sizes if you want to stay close to stock. They make an 1400 and 1800 close to stock size but as much CCA as 2-3 stock batteries.
Kinetik's have an extremely low ESR which means they will charge from the alternator easier than a lead acid battery reducing strain on the alternator. They also have a very low self discharge rate which also makes it a good battery to use multiples of or use with other types of batteries. This is because you have very little to no current flow between batteries connected in parallel so they wont heat up the cells reducing battery life.

Basically, they are powerful and reliable.
