Question K&N oil filters?

Has anyone used these filters? They told me that my application was #HP-2010, exceeds OEM specs, has an anti-drain back valve and a pressure relief valve. Also has a 1" removal nut on the end. I have only used the Ford filter so far, but I'm curious.

I used them until I switched to synthtic oil. I had no problems with their filters at all. I would recommend them. Only reason I am not using them now is I need a filter that will go longer than 5000 miles due to the 10,000 mile drain intraval.

I use them as well. Great filter with no problems. The nut is a NICE feature, just in case you can't get it off when there's oil and crud on it. Just use a 1" stubby wrench.

Thanks for the responses.

Jupiterak- could you give me some info on the RSX shocks? Why did you choose them? How do they handle on the street compared to OEM? Body Roll? Any other comments? Thanks.

The RSX's a great. There was too much jounce and severe axle hop with the factory shocks. The RSX's have a "firm" ride and handle well. It also cured about 90% of the axle hop too. I was looking into the 9000's but they're alittle too pricey. Bilstein's are great (I had them on my Chevy) but the rear one's would cost me 100.00 each, so I got the RSX's when they had the "buy 3 & get one free" deal a few months back.
