Well, you've probably hit a few of the chronic problems. Here's what I did:
DIC - buy a good used spare on eBay and carry it under the luggage deck. Change the plugs by yourself once so you can familiarize yourself on how to remove the DIC connection quickly.
Heater bypass valve - Replace with the MacKay euro-spec hoses. The HBV will undoubtedly fail on you when most inconvenient.
Sagging rear suspension - Install the JJJ spring spacers. Easy DIY with impact wrench and autozone rental spring spacers
I haven't addressed the H7 relay issue.
Congrats on your find, BTW. Sounds like a nice car that I'm sure you will enjoy.
