battery relocation with pics
Listen up LazY93RX7,
If you want to come on here and get sarcastic about knowledgeable responses as to the downfalls of your setup, then WHY even post at all? (This is a rhetorical question, As I don't care about your uneducated response.)
Your placement has these traits:
1. Worse CG (Center of Gravity) Location
2. Aesthetics (Looks terrible)
Get over yourself.
And to be completely fair: I do like the actual mounting plate you used. That is a nice looking piece, but it doesn't need to be showed off. It is, after all, just a battery tie-down. The rest of the install looks amateur.

why post about something unless you're doing it right?

Or if you are posting to find out how to do it right.... why not listen to the people that know what they are talking about and are trying to show you HOW to do it right?
It just doesn't make sense to me: Hey, can you help me do this? (Yeah sure... here is how, and why) Oh no, I can't do that. I have to make s'mores.

The westco battery was indeed nice. It was amongst the top of my choice list until i found my current battery from Volt Phreaks (link). That is a link to a comparable battery to when i bought mine. Very nice, light and strong. But as i stated before expensive. I have a small system in my car and have no issues with it what so ever. You can also install mine with out hacking up the bin, perhaps even less. I opted to cut out the bottom to make a nice secure mounting bracket which is welded onto the floor pan for that extra piece of mind. From my above pic, you wouldnt know it 
I do appreciate that write up again Moconnor

They can't change the size of a 51R because that is what the BCI is and the battery council names it a 51R because it falls into the specs required for that. I doubt anyone cares, but thought I would throw that lil bit o' knowledge out there for ya.

The only thing that needs to be co-located with the battery is the breaker. The fuses in my writeup are optional and all the stock fuse boxes remain where they are.
