There are none. You will need to add some. If you are just doing a short tow or a once in great while thing then just get creative. Otherwise you will need to drill and make rear hooks.
I used eyebolts and put them in to the thick spots just behing the rear jack point donut. Works great for my spec car.

A couple places make tiedown points that bolt in using the lower shock mounting bolts, they're only $30 or so, if you plan on tying down a lot, they'd make it easier.

That is what I was afraid of-none because at a glance I really saw no area to hook on. It is a 100 mi trip and one time trailering it so no add ons really needed for future. I was considering hooking over the outer torsion tube and pray it doesn't slip off! Thanks! D

My 924S still as the tie down brackets from the factory on the rear end. I usually use those to secure and pull the car onto my fathers flatbed when moving it to the shop. Perhaps you can find a place that sells brackets that will fit the original mounting positions. If you need, i can show you a few pictures of where and what the mounting brackets look like.

sure techno... let us in on it. we used the rear sway to secure it. the front really takes all the weight anyway. we used that to secure the race car. not an issue if we bent the sway anyway, i have a spare.

I can take some clearer pictures in day or two as my car is all the way on the other end of campus. Here in this picture you can see the tie down brackets hanging off the rear of the car...
They are right under the rear side marker lamp...slightly to the left

Why not use the specially manufactured tire tie downs? I think Uhaul uses them on their flat bed car trailer. Heavy duty mesh straps hold each of the 4 wheels to the trailer.
