I dont know how bad the springs that you have are but I cut blocks of soft
foam ( a little stiff) and slid them into the springs .The springs act as
locators for the foam blocks which now support you.The blocks are the
height of the seat and about 3 inches square.  I moved them around till the
seat was comfortable   . ( they got put in the springs around the edge and
in the center -like a tractor seat) you can't see them from the out side.
And the seats still look stock but have the support of a modern seat. Mike
