Personally, I don't love the idea of cranking down on, relatively dainty, suspension components. To wit...

1) re-bend your existing tie down / tow hooks to the vertical position. In addition to them being the best front tie down option when I towed to / from HCR, the handful of times I actually bottomed out on the rallye they were the first / only body part to hit. Sounded PAINFUL, but ultimately it just ground off a couple millimeters of steel. They're sacrificial, so... sacrifice them to the Porsche gods.

2) install new factory front tie down / tow hooks (assuming they're still available).

3) install Rennline front tie down / tow hooks. https://www.pelicanparts.com/More_Info/RENE0304.htm?pn=REN-E03-04&SVSVSI=911M
