Ahh, thank you. I may have to wear one in first.

Not to steal your thread , but I have a seat base with good frame and springs. Is your combo more comfortable then original recovered?
I guessed at the thickness, they are very close to original but both of them will need to be thinned to my liking. I don't have an interior guy yet. I am a big guy so the factory seats are torture to me, especially the high and forward position. I can see well and the wheel is right in my gut. I have sat on the foam and it is light years better than springs for sure. Give it a try!
