Can't argue with you on that the STCivic's do keep the battery in the stock location but I think those cars are more concerned with total weight reduction vs weight location. It was just something I thought of but haven't had a chance to apply since I don't have a sealed battery. I just don't like the f/r balance the car had from the factory and wanted to do anything I could to fix that.
The stock battery won't fit correctly anywhere in the trunk without making a custom case. But I'm sure I'll buy a braille or a pc535 and mount it in the stock location.
