Where to order correct Optima Red Top?

R.I.P. Soulja Slim

2003.5 Laser Blue Mazdaspeed Protege
What up my MSP homies, I need some help. I want to order the correct Optima Red Top battery for the MSP and I want it to come with the spacer thingy so it will fit correctly. I am hoping one of you can tell me where to order it from and if you have a link that is even better. Thanks in advance for your help. (potkettle I just included these because I have never seen them as a smiley option.

Thanks for the offer but that is a lot further than I am willing to drive at the moment and gas would be kinda expensive.

Well I would buy it from them but where would I then get the spacer from?

Do you know if they have the spacer?

I know advanced auto doesnt carry the spacers... Not sure about wally world but I did end up using one of advanced autos universal battery tie-downs and it worked great and doesnt look bad at all.
 
Alright, here is the deal. My birthday is coming up in 2 weeks and I am trying to put together a easy to use birthday list so my peoples can just click on the links I send them and order exactly what I want. I guess I should have explained this in the beginning. So who has ordered the correct Optima Red Top battery (group 35 I think, correct me if I'm wrong) with the spacer and where did you get it from? If you can provide the link that would be the shiznit. Thanks to everybody who has tried to help me out so far.
 
I bought my red top from Advanced Auto, and it came with a spacer. Hmm...
 
If you are talking about the thing you put up underneath to raise the battery for the hold down to hold properly. Yes they are supposed to come with them.. If not, the store has lost them.. They come with our when we recv them from shipping.

why would you go with a blue top.. the battery is meant for marine use... I would go with a red top up front

SO what you don't know what the differences are in the batteries?
 
I don't think anyone answered the question, which would make this wasted space. So what is the model number for the Red-Top that fits in a Mazda Protege? I'd like to know also so I can order it cheaper online. I have a yellow top but IDK if it fits, and its not quite show worthy.

it used to be red top 75/35 due to proper size and positive terminal on left side. but those seem to be the old model. now it is 75/25 with same specs. however, the 75 means it has side posts too. id say go with the red top 25 or 35. same in every way to the 75/25 except no unneeded side posts and a bit lighter. the 35 would need to be turned around as its positive post is on the right. this works out though since the posts are closer to the inside of the bay on the stock battery.
