I have a set on my car, they're great as tie-downs. However, you might want to hold off on buying a set until the outcome of the below thread-in-progess is in hand:

Straps through the wheels with towels to protect the finish works well. You really want to secure the wheels which do not move when you hit bumps. Anytime you hook to the chassis/ frame/ front tow brackets/ or the screw in alloy tow hook the straps must compress the springs but big bumps still let the car bounce and puts heavy loads on the straps.
Also the screw in tow hocks are reasonably strong in tension but rather weak in shear so do not try to tie DOWN with the tow hook only pull straight ahead.
Use 4 BIG rachet straps that are in good condition not little cheapo harbor freight motorcycle tie downs.

Use the factory tie down "brackets" at the front of lower control arms for the front straps ....get 2 18" axle straps and loop them around the lower part of the rear shocks for the rear straps.
Can post pics if that desciption is not clear.

Be sure the trailer anchors are indeed frame anchors.
Carl Faucett and crew discovered theirs were surface mounts, IIRC.
Its a dramatic part of his Pike's Peak book.

My track car tie down in the trailer is
a) front: use 3 inch ratchet straps to factory hooks and trailer floor hooks.
b) rear: use axle straps that wrap around the rear axle cross support (that runs under the transaxle to rear suspension) hooked to ratchet straps.
