Same thing happened to me, had an interior shop install bottom spring assembly and new foam, and they didn't trim it worth a crap. They were over stuffed, too hard, and were about 3 - 4 inches taller/higher seating position. Not happy. I told them to redo them, and they said "the foam will break in, and you will be sorry you messed with it." . Not. after years, they were still too hard and too high, was like sitting on a barrel, hated them.

The OE seats that were in the 71 sport when I got it were fine, had 68k or so original miles on it. Those things held you very well for their' age/style, and could easily live with them from a performance standpoint.

I'm sending my buckets to Legendary and will have them do them. Not inexpensive by any means, but hear they do top-notch on the comfort weave seat restorations. Think they quoted me a year ago @$600 a seat, plus parts.

I thought for that money, I could get something newer and better, but not really, the good ones are about $750 and up. And that's before you customize them.

I looked at the ProCar seats, they look 'good', a little cheap-looking, but 'good'. Most I've seen in are budget builds, and think I personally would rather have the not so well done OE instead.

Recaro and Corbeau would be my suggestions, if you choose to go aftermarket. Yeah, they cost more, but this is certainly one area you get what you pay for.

The other alternative is the Legendary Rallye seat covers/foam, which 'look' like the OE stuff but have higher/stiffer bolsters. And they do make them with the comfort weave inserts. At least those would look 'more' correct. I have heard folks like them, and have seen them in cars when I was on the power tour. They look better than the pics, that's for sure. ANd the people that had them like them.
