I want to install 2 tow hooks, one in the rear and one in the front as they are required in some tracks.
Ideally I would like removable ones (ie. long bolts with the loop at the front) but I'm open to fixed ones if there is no alternative.

I was thinking that the front one might be put through the front grill and reach some solid point in the frame straight from there where a nut can be soldered? I'm completely lost on how to install a rear one though.

Any suggestions? Thanks!

I had these on my vette. To comply with the rules. You just fold them up and zip tie out of the way. You also need the Tow Strap stickers with the down arrow. The other item is the battery shut off. Instead of drilling a hole in the body, use the antenna hole

It doesn't copy and paste very well on my phone. But this is the Sparco nylon tow strap

I purchased this one for the rear from Van Steel. Easy to access and out of sight. I'm still looking for one for the front.

No advice on mounting just get a Hd one...youll see some trendy ricer stuff guys are using on new ones that look like they belong on a keychain

I went to Van Steel website but could not find the above pictured tow equipment. Do you have a name and/or part number for it? How did you find this on their website? Thanks in advance.

It was hard to find until I knew where to look.
The easiest way is, from their home page, type "tow hook" into the search box and hit enter.
It will come right up.

Thanks for the tips, regarding the hook on the differential. Could that be placed under the monospring? I think towing there would probably bend the bolts. Would it be better to fabricate something to sandwich between the differential and the spring?

I would call Van Steel and ask them about their applications regarding monosprings and the tow hook.

Unsurprisingly, the Van Steel hook is meant for coilover cars only.

I've now found this one:

which looks like it could be mounted between the differential and the monospring.

Instead of $150 is why I went with the nylon straps like Sparco for $15

And where did you mount then on the car ? Front / Rear ?
