Post Trailer Tie Downs

I followed the earlier posts in the Racing Section about trailer tie down straps and I am interested in the Autometric's Tie Down Hooks. Is anyone using these on the rear of a Boxster. I can't find a place to bolt them.

I find the best way to attach a car to a trailer is with wheel nets. They are nylon (seatbelt-like) webs that basket over each wheel and use ratchet tiedowns to snug to the trailer. This allows the trailered car's suspension to react to bumps in the road better. Otherwise, if you snug down the car using tiedowns, you either need to get it tight enough to compress the suspension with puts a LOT of stress on the tiedowns or the car will move around too much to be safe.

Check this out:
