Who makes the thinnest sandwich adapter?
I'm looking for the thinnest sandwich adapter since I want as much room as possible to change the oil filter. I have the AutoExe front strut bar so changing the oil filter is already a pain in the ***. Greddy? ReSpeed? Others? Also, is it difficult to relocate the oil filter? TIA.

I would NOT use the greddy filter relocation. While I think the majority of their products are first-rate, my old roommate had the Greddy oil filter relocation on his FD and it failed multiple times. We'd be crusing along, and he'd suddenly lose oil pressure, it made a huge mess and left us stranded. He installed it correctly with all of the provided hoses and fittings. After the second time this happened he ended up getting rid of it.

That's the problem though with that strut bar, they are really suited for full track/race cars where maintenance is done with the car half assembled per say. They aren't really suited for normal street cars as they make maintenance a nightmare.

Would I be able to move the oil filter closer to my battery? I already have a Odyssey PC680 but haven't had a chance to put it in. I just don't know what to do with the tie down and tray.

Is this one the right one to get? Or do I need the other one?
