Installed the STI battery tie down and removed the mounting base that came with the Optima battery (installed on the bottom).
Now the battery is lying down about 1-2 inch lower than factory battery.
Even though the Optima battery is not lighter than factory one, it has a lower center of gravity now----I might think too much, hah.
