Seat Spring for a 300CD
Anyone know a source for this part? Performance Products only has for the sedan. This is an 83 300CD. Driver's seat lists hard to port and is killing my back. Can the bottom cushion assemblies be swapped passenger to driver side? Can the spring box be re-sprung?
Thanks Much.

Actually I have both, a sedan and a coupe. I think the coupe has bigger seats unless they were changed at so point in it's life. The driver's cushion really sags kinda bad, feels more serious than just padding.

On my '84 the spring was eating into the foam causing the seat to list as you describe. I removed the seat, removed the cover and foam and strapped a section of carpet remnant, cut to fit, over the top of the spring fastening it with wire from underneath. The theory here is the piece of carpet spreads the load and keeps the spring from cutting into the foam. I also "screwed" a piece of pool noodle foam into the front coils of the springs to firm them up. Worked great. Nice firm seat, very cheap and holding up well after 1 year. RT

The seat springs are the same (driver and passenger) on the sedan. Can't tell you for sure on the coupe, but would suspect they are the same too.
Sedan and coupe seats are different sizes and the lower springs are not interchangeable between the coupe and sedan. That's true on all model years as far as I know. Best source would be a coupe passenger's seat spring out of a junkyard. Ken300D

300ce,
I have switch the seat springs (seat base) on a 83 300 cd. Not difficult, but time consuming, since it was the first time to try it. The drivers side had a broken spring before the change. After the switch, it is hardly noticeable on the passenger side. Marks88
