Found this too. Rear hook/

Really nice quality forged pieces. I’m running the black ring anodized front and rear fold downs. I’ve unfortunately had to use the front hook several times to pull the car up on a flatbed. They work!

Although we do not have the adapter for the s2000 currently, so we are not pushing them as much.

The folding one is much nicer looking than the preeminent one imo

After a bit of poking around, a typical tow hook is either designed for show or designed to handle pulling forces inline with a chassis (tow truck pulling you out of the dirt). What about tow hooks that handle downward forces encountered when strapping the car down to a dyno or a trailer? A 90-degree aluminum tow hook, like the GT Motoring piece, seems like a it cannot handle that force but a really long steel piece like the J's piece may also deflect too much.

Any thoughts on hooks that can handle sustained vertical loading?

Pegasus Auto racing sells an OMP tow hook that will thread into the factory tow hook location in the bumpers. Still not something that will take a vertical load.

I have these bolted to my front and rear sub frames using the OEM sub frame bolts. Works perfectly. I have 45s in the rear and 90s in the front.

Note: Not an S2000.
