Are w126 seats suppose to be softer than w123? I have a 126 parts car and the seats are springy-er that my w123. No lean, just alot more bounce. My w123 are hard as a rock

From my recollection, the W126 seats are softer than the W123. Of course, each vehicle will vary due to things such as leather or Tex, condition, etc.

I recently rebuilt the SD's seat and it has 1" of memory foam above the new horsehair pad...........now that's comfy.

my foam strips on the w123 fell out so its all spring on my arse... you lucky dog you

I think I'm gonna swap out the seats and put the 126's in my 123. Now I know this may sound strange to some of you, but the springs in the 123 are too firm. kinda like sitting on a park bench. Ask jshadows......he sat on them and his eyes about popped. I just need a little more cushin down there

I'm not sure, the rear seats in my TD are anything but firm and they were rarely used until I bought it.
