Re: Seat spring available?

I pulled out my seat and took to the upholstery shop on June 2nd and then proceeded to install sound deadener and new carpet. Upholstery shop called after taking apart and sent pictures of gorgeous springs except the broken "helper spring". They ordered from USA1 and to date they're still back ordered. After calling around June 11th to find out when they'd get them, USA1 said "unknown, but it'll be a while" so I decided to go with the torsion spring. Looks good installed, seems like a great solution, however, it over compensates and when you sit on the seat it feels like I have a racquetball pressing in my thigh. Upholstery shop agreed and will redo when the correct spring from USA1 arrives. Moral of the story, wait for the right part.
