Quality of life for you or the car?
All fluids changed, fresh plugs, fresh filters. Do you know when last major service was done?
Honestly everyone here needs to know more.
Post detailed pics of EVERYTHING. Then ask again. Pretty sure I can say we're all keen on your car.

One of the best mods I ever did was seat lowering brackets. Definitely a quality of life mod. Makes it so much more comfortable and easier to drive. Especially for a big guy like me.

ooo if you don't mind me asking, what kit did you use and how big are you?

I am 6'2" and 215 ish pounds and have been waffling on seat lowering brackets for years.

I've run a couple - it drops the seats by ~0.75-1", makes a big difference in sightline and feel. You're not sitting on top of the car anymore.

I can vouch for these. An absolute game changer in driving position being 6’3 and 205.

Well I guess I'll order these up. We are basically the same size so that's perfect.
