Default Securing Car Enclosed Trailer

For those of you that trailer your cars, can you give me some tips for the best way to secure the car in an enclosed trailer?

The trailer I'm looking to use has eye hooks in the floor. Two in front and two in back. I was looking at securing through the wheels, however, I want to be sure that this is the best way. The car is a 94 3.6 Turbo.

Thanks for the help.

The best way is I have found and installed on customers cars is www.autometrics.com tow hooks. Simple, easy, and they work great. Actually in the front, I use a j-hook in the spot on the frame where they attach the clip. The clip works fine, except that it hangs down and I didn't like it in photos of the car at the track...

Oscar,

I did find a car. It's a 94 3.6 Turbo black on black. I will post some pictures once I get it home! It's like Christmas time again!

Viperbob - thanks for the information.
