    This sorta applies to this thread.. I once had to be towed because my e30s clutch master cylinder broke, we used the stock tow hook on the front and now my front end doesn't fit together worth a shit. Front bumper fitment is off, and now my grill fitment around my headlights are off aswell, I'm pretty sure the front end is tweaked due to towing it. So be carefull when some one is towing your car, make sure they don't yank on it.

      When the clutch master goes you can just use the starter get the car moving in first and jam gears all the way home. I did 70 miles like this. I only had to use the starter to get the car moving once, just slow down for red lights way early so you can keep it rolling in first constantly.

          The thing all of you guys are not considering is that the hook is probably WAY over engineered. What you have to consider is the bolts holding the bumper shock in place. These are the week link in the system. I believe they are M10 bolts, so basically the tow hook can withstand what two M10 bolts can withstand, which frankly, is a lot.

          I once towed a parts car ~2 miles through town with no windshield and only the hand parking brake. Good times, good times. lol
