I'm trying to get feed back from anyone on what the best high performance batteries are for our civic si's. All types are welcomed but please bare in mind I live in Canada so I experience extreme hot and cold over here. A lighter weight battery as well would be a nice option. Thanks very much to all for the help and have a good rest of your day or night!

NO! .... I'm not interested in weight, since I'm not racing it, or driving hard enough to make a difference.
I like these Optima's for their reliability. I've been running them since the 80's, and get about 6 to 8 years out of them. I lived in Denver most of the time I used them, lot's of temp variations, and the car stayed out side with no charger help, never had an issue.

Right now I'm still use the batt that came with my car, but will get the yellow one in time.
I was using the red ones in the past, but my cars didn't have all the electronics this car has, yellow it will be.
