HOW TO: Add Support/Firmness to your 201/124 seat
 

In the later 126 chassis cars Mercedes installed some foam supports to help firm up the front springs. I had an extra set laying around and figured I'd see if they fit in the 201 coils.

I posted this for 124s as well. I think it'll work for them too. If I'm wrong someone let me know and I'll change it.

Its a little tall for the 201 seat so it should be a bit more firm/supportive than it normally would be in a 126/123 seat.

Its pretty supportive and I rather like how it feels. Very little roll when turning. Feel more modern and firm.

Are they only available in Schwarz?

What year did they add these supports to the W124?

I dont think they did. At least I'm not aware. I only mentioned 124 as I think the seats are similar. As far as I know those foam cylinder supports were 126 (maybe 123 too) parts..

Late W124 leather seats have double the springs, and large foam pads to support them.

I believe my 201 had two front springs and a large foam pad (one on each side) as well. Its a 93 MY.
