you use ratchet straps and also use the shipping holes located just behind the front tires and in front of the rear tires do not strap to suspension parts because it is harsh on you alignment. you will see the holes they aint hard to find.

Re: Strapping car to trailer? (JDM2ndGen)
heres a pic of how i tow my car. I use come-a-long's (i dont know what the correct name for them is) attatched to the tow hooks and hooked to the trailer. I do close to the same thing in the rear.. I used to use ratchet straps over the tires but i had one come off before so i adopted this method. either way is good, but this way feels more secure. I also hook chains to the car incase one of these breaks or comes loose..

Re: Strapping car to trailer? (JDM2ndGen)
They carry them at any trailer shop. you might be able to find them at a auto parts store such as Napa.
I use the come-a-long's attatched to the tow hooks and chains attatched to the car.
Chains should not be the only thing you use to fasten the car to the trailer, they should only be used for safty incase the straps you use break or fail in some way. if chains are the only thing holding the car down, serious damage can be caused to both the car and trailer.

you really don't need chains the wide ratchet straps will be enough and the positions are under the car you won't miss the holes just look where i said cool
