I would think twice about adding 320 pounds of battery (plus mounting hardware strong enough to keep those batteries from getting loose in a accident!!) in a 2400 pound civic. That is at least a 13% weight penalty and it's not like your mother-in-law in the back seat occasionally, it's all the time! No alternator delete is going to make up for that.
