    Looks smart, not too keen on the wheel choice but the car sits well on them. Would have preferred it if you had have achieved the suspension drop with a professional suspension kit rather than a spring chop but it's done now. What's left to do before it's road worthy?

    A spring kit wouldn't have lowered it enough

    Really liking that Frankie, and the ride height looks spot on to me. Kids on scooters near my car/s worries me a lot though.
