Recovering Seats- Anyone replace the springs also?

[DC_1]

I am planning on recovering the seats in my 68. When you sit in the car you seem to sink down quite far so I am assuming the springs are a little worn. Has anyone replaced these while they were redoing their seats? or maybe just putting in new foam would help stiffen things up a bit. Any comments are appreciated.

When I recovered the front seat in my '69 Super Bee I had to replace some of the springs. In fact I had to rebuild the whole drivers side section (bench seat). Its not a tough job, just a bit teadious and time consuming.

A little trick I learned when I redid my seats to avoid that "sinking" feeling was to add a piece of carpet between the foam and springs.
The carpet "blocks" the foam from bleeding through the springs, firming up the seat.

I did this on the bottoms and the seat backs with great results!!
