Best way to have a lowered z with duals towed?
Last year, I had a rocker arm break in the middle of who knows where and I had to call AAA. At the time I had a borla and the car was lowered. I requested a flat bed, but a tow truck pulled up. I told the man that there is no way that the car could be towed due to its lowered stance. He ended up using a tow dolly in the back with the car lifted in the front. I did not like the way the car swayed as it was being pulled, but I was stranded.
I had a thought the other day. With the duals, a tow dolly would not work in the back if I needed a tow.
What is the proper way to tow a car like mine? Wouldn't it scrape if being pulled up onto a flat bed?

My car took a crap on me while on a dyno and I had to have it towed back to the shop that was working on it. So I called AAA.... to make a long story short, I waited 3.5 hours until having someone else tow it. The next day I wanted it towed home. Then they wanted me to sign off for all liability while they tried to put it on the truck and tow it to my house... uhh bullshit. The guy wouldn't tow it b/c I wouldn't sign my name saying if they got in a wreck with my car that I was still responsible for it. I don't have too many kind words for AAA.

Definately a flat bed and boards to keep it from draging *** or nose. I used several boards stacked so that you can move them as the car rolls and keep a good distance between the car and ground.

i agree a flat bed is the way to go.if they use 4x4 pieces of wood in the front and rear when pulling it up thier shoud be no problem.had mine done that way a couple of times
