why don't you buy at your local auto shop like autozone, pepboys or strauss? they might charge you a lot of $$$ on shipping on that heavy battery.

i have bought mine from them. Unfortunately i bought the red top, so i cannot help you with which one to buy, but i did buy the 34R red top, and it fits pretty good.

EDIT: judging from the website i just linked, the two batteries that you listed will likely be too small. if you're dead set on a yellow top, get the D34. it'll fill the battery area better so that you can actually use the hold down clamp. you will have to extend your cables to accommodate the terminals. actually, even with my 34R red top, you cannot install it without modifying the clamps slightly.

so if i end up getting a yellow top, i will have to mod it to make it fit? and you also said modifying the hold down clamp, what do you mean by that?

if you get the yellow top D34, you will only have to extend the battery cables, no other mods are necessary. make sure you use the "spacer" that is provided with the battery... optima batteries are a little shorter than the OEM.

for the red top 34R, even though it has the correct terminal orientation and approximately the right size... the terminals are in too far from the edge. the oem terminal clamps of the car do not fit perfectly, so you actually have to bend the terminal clamps slightly to get them to fit onto the terminals properly.

i would take a picture and show you what i mean, but i have since gotten rid of the oem battery cables and installed heavier gauge cables.

If you can't find a good online retailer just head over to Sam's Club. You'll get a pretty good brick and mortar price and a fantastic warranty with free replacement.
