Default Need help please

Hi gys. I just purchased an enclosed trailer to transport my TA to the track but I have encountered a small problem I wanted to check with everyone on. I have no idea where the best place is to hook the straps to to strap the car down. I cant see any good place at all to hook them and I dont want to damage anything. Any advice is greatly appreciated thanks in advance.

Does the car have factory k-member and a-arms? If it does have the factory a-arms and k-member than there are holes in each where you can slide the hook in and tighten it down to the mounting points in the trailer without any issues. On the rear I always have wrapped the straps around the rear end but you have to be a little careful and make sure the strap isn't around anything that can be damaged when being tightened down.

I thought the best place to strap a car down was by the wheels, so when you are transporting it the suspension is able to travel.

Yes the suspension is all stock with the addition of the sub frame connectors. I will check out those points when I get home. I also looked at the tire strap idea but their isnt much space between the car and the wall of the trailer to put a tie down point. Thanks for the info guys.
