As I contemplate tie-downs for my car, I'm remembering something I saw on an S2 last year. Owner had welded a D "ring" (it was fixed, protruding out about an inch) onto extra center wheel bolts. For transport he would exchange the standard bolt with the ring bolts, load and then use hook-straps forward and backward on each D ring (required two straps per wheel, pulling in opposite directions so that the suspension wasn't really torqued either way).
Good idea? Bad idea? I'm planning on using nets but I wonder if this would be simpler. Not sure if it risks torquing something in the suspension in a bad way.
