Scared SH******
So I purchased a 03 z and am going to pick up with my car trailer and truck this week. I asked my friend who has a 02 z for track car where to strap down and he said through the wheels, dont do the suspension. I don't like this idea because my wheels are powdercoated and i don't feel comfortable putting a towel between strap and rim and having tie down move and rub color off rims. Does anyone have any suggestions? I am so nervous about putting straps in right location which wont affect and cosmetics or mechanical stuff. Thanks for the help in advance.

Don't over think strapping down the car....it doesn't have to be super duper tight to be transported safely.

I put axle straps on the front lower control arms and go straight forward.
On the rear I put the strap itself through the lower control arm with a rag on the arm then take the hook back to the trailer. Tighten it down, set park brake and put in gear.
