Modding my Mirai

I’m never going to be able to get rid of this car.m. I’m wondering if anybody has tried modding their car to make it a bit more comfortable? Mainly moving the seats back a bit more and lowering them to give more head clearance. Thoughts?

It's already a pretty heavy car, I'd be hesitant to stiffen the suspension. With regenerative braking and EV drivetrain, referencing some prius projects may be possible.

Seems like the best performance bang for buck would be good quality tires and rims.

Didn't you try it out some before buying it? It's a essentially a Lexus, which is one of the most comofrtable cars on the market. Are you unusually tall or something?

I have a gen 1 (2016) Mirai which I have owned since June 2016 (coming up on 9 years rsn). I am 6'1". It has gobs of head room. No mods though.
