Nice find!

 

hmm....I had one in my LGT. Might need to see if this fits for my STI

 

Fit looks decent, but price wasn't that great. I picked up an Exide Orbital Extreme for ~$80.00 a couple years back for one of my other cars.. that was a pretty decent deal!

 

ut: I'd happily pay $10 more for an Optima.

 

I've had at least 5 different Optimas - can't complain, and their warranty is decent. I just re-read the OP's post and realized that it would be under 100 total.

I must have read it wrong to begin with because I thought it was like 120 bucks stilll HA HA HA

 

I'm not a fan of these batteries, when I owned a 3rd gen. Acura Integra, I had both red & yellow tops go bad within a short amount of time. when I addressed this Optima they would not warrantee it due to the fact they were no longer going to make the size for Civics & Integras. They might have worked out the issues with them by now but I'd rather use an Interstate.

 

Oddly enough I thought I had a problem with my red-top optima at first - but it "fixed itself" and it's been fine for over 2 years now... {shrug}
