Had my seats reworked by a professional shop and they substituted a 
built-up foam with wood base for the original springs.  My what a 
comfortable ride this makes.  Sits a bit higher than those tired springs 
too.  Here's a pic --

I added a little loop of black nylon strap to the front of the bottom 
cushion to make it real easy to pop out when I want to haul something 
large on the passenger side floor.

Apologies to the originality police & purists -- you're right but OTOH 
this suits how I use & enjoy the car.
