they don't do anything, they look ugly, and you can't tow by them.

UofACATS 02-18-2007 06:52 PM

Can you load the car on a towtruck with them?

UofACATS 02-18-2007 06:53 PM

I've always heard never to use them for anything...just as tie downs...but maybe if you were easy?

UofACATS 02-18-2007 07:03 PM

Right. Used for shipping as far as I know. But they do seem strong enough to support the car being loaded on the ramp/towtruck. Guess I'm used to it.

If it explodes (say rear end goes) what are the tow points?

magnamx-5 02-18-2007 07:16 PM

those are for pulling it onto the truck yeah they tie into the subframe + they give you a spot to strap down while on the dyno :D

adbradley 02-18-2007 07:35 PM

Atlanta93LE 02-18-2007 07:44 PM

Hahaha, do a search for oil bandit / oil thief / stolen oil in posts started by Rican. Pop some popcorn. Enjoy.
