Battery Tie Downs for Subaru WRX, BRZ, Focus RS, Civic and Integra

What Battery Tie Downs Cover

Secure the Battery Correctly

A proper hold down stops battery movement that can damage terminals, cables or nearby components. The collection includes direct fit pieces and lightweight mount kits that replace or upgrade the factory retention hardware.

Vehicle Specific Mounting

Use the Designed Location

Subaru WRX and STI, BRZ and GR86, Focus RS, Civic and Integra pieces use platform focused mounting points. Check battery case size, tray layout and any intake or intercooler piping changes before choosing a mount.

Materials and Finish Choices

Match the Build

Billet and lightweight aluminum tie downs add corrosion resistance and a detailed appearance, while complete mounts provide additional structure. Choose the finish and hardware style that fits the engine bay theme without compromising clamping force.

Install and Inspection

Keep Cables Safe

Disconnect the negative terminal first, position the battery squarely in the tray and tighten the hold down evenly. After installation, verify that the battery cannot move and that cables do not rub sharp edges or hot components.

Common Questions

Why does a battery need a tie down?

A tie down prevents the battery from shifting, which protects terminals, cables and surrounding components during vehicle movement.

Are these tie downs vehicle specific?

Many are made for specific Subaru, Ford, Honda and Toyota based applications. Use the fitment filter and product notes to confirm.

What is included with a battery mount kit?

Contents vary by kit. Review the product listing for the mount, tie down, brackets and hardware included for that application.

Can I use a billet tie down with the factory battery?

Yes when the product is listed for the vehicle and battery tray. Confirm battery case dimensions and tray layout first.

Do I need to disconnect the battery for installation?

Disconnect the negative terminal before working around the battery, then follow the product instructions for the mount and hardware.

Will a tie down fit an aftermarket intake?

It depends on the intake routing and engine bay layout. Check clearance around tubing, boxes and brackets before ordering.

How tight should the hold down be?

Tighten it enough to eliminate battery movement without crushing the battery case. Follow the manufacturer hardware guidance when provided.

Can I use this with a lightweight battery?

Only if the mount supports that battery size and height. Verify the listed application and battery dimensions.

Do colored tie downs change performance?

The finish is primarily cosmetic. Correct fitment, material quality and secure hardware matter most for reliable retention.

When should I inspect battery hardware?

Inspect it during routine service and after track use, rough roads or any engine bay work that could affect the mount.
