I can't believe you people take so much risk with your cars!!

It's well known that the position of the seats changes the harmonics and the bad harmonics is the main cause of IMSB failures. If you bought a car that had the seats moved or were dumb enough to do so yourself, you're driving a time bomb!

Unfortunately as each car has a unique harmonic the proper seat position could only be calibrated during the build. So once moved, you're boned.

Never leave the seat down! If you do, there's the very real possibility of peeing on it in the middle of the night while your eyes are still half closed. Everybody knows that.

I thought about doing that, but didn't know how.

If you are running oil, especially on the seats, you should speak to your doctor.

You need to read the forums more closely.

Everyone knows keeping one up and one down is the best combination for reducing the chances of an IMS bearing failure.

I keep mine up. That's how it was designed from factory. I wouldn't want to upset the balance.

Unless I have my golf clubs in the back, then I add 0.3 psi to the rear tyres.
