Ended up getting and replacing an original spring for the back and it was much better. Maybe think about just replacing the bottoms, as they do the most work bearing our..... weight. I do believe that these seat springs were soft from the factory and likely get worse with age. As Rohrt stated, you can use the foam to stiffen them up a bit and make sure you don't have broken springs. Good luck.

I haven't been able to see any damage to the springs. I was pretty much just hoping that someone would say "Oh yeah, here is a simple (inexpensive) way to stiffen them up". I may just be stuck with the seat not feeling right as I have always been a big guy (6'4") and as I have gotten older my mass has increased a bit.
