Default What is front straps?

Sorry for the newbie question. hehe

What is it? any pictures of it and where it goes?

For a car runing slick tires, is it recommended?

Front straps???? Never heard of them.. Usally when you say that its the straps that hold the car on to a tow dolly when trailering it..

search in here, this was covered only a week or two ago, FWIW the straps are limiting straps, for stopping weight transfer.

or, ask TURBOCIVIC&WRX

yeah, Ive thought about it too.. but I fear the weight involved...
I think that it will add up very quickly...
The only way to offset this is to cut the spare well out. But I am not at a point where I am comfortable with making that drastic of a modification to the unibody. but thats me...
