Whaddya mean "frozen"? Tis balmy in jolly olde right now. And I don't have anywhere warmer to call "home". You want to try driving a cobra in this weather - takes me 1/2hr to get enough layers of clothing on to make it, umm, "enjoyable". Last trip out I had the thermometer was just getting above freezing point, but the roads were dry so I had to go.

Your pic shows a very low ride height all round. Have you checked with your kit manufacturer that the suspension will work properly with the car set that low front and rear?

I know race car ride height set up is "just high enough to stop it scraping", but I see many cobras here running far too low. The suspension just can't work properly in that situation. For a comparison, look at a Kirkham or Shelby on their respective websites - or indeed my car in my own gallery here - they sit far higher up relative to yours.

I know each guy likes their car set just so, but it could be that your low ride height is compromising the suspension??
