Thanks for sharing your experience. I was not considering replacing the springs until I saw your posts- very informative. This is a good time to install seat warmers too.

The rolls come in 10' lengths. How many rolls of 9 guage and 11 guage springs did you need to purchase to replace the springs in the front seats?

Also, what tool did you use to bend the ends of the springs where they're clipped into the frame?
