Saggy bottom boys

Hi Guys
I've got a 3.2 2001 Boxster with leather sport seats but my driver's seat seams to be suffering from a depressed bottom so that when you sit in it the side wings stick into your ribs rather than fit nicely into your waist. A cushion helps bring things back into alignment but who wants to sit on a cushion! Anybody experienced this problem before, I've put it down to 60,000 miles of fatter people than me driving the car and causing the bottom of the seat to sag. The passenger seat seems fine, are they interchangeable? I'd rather find a fix than swap them about but it's getting a real pain and taking the enjoyment of driving the car away.
Cheers
JJ

The seats aren't interchangeable as the seat belt bracket is an integral part of the seat.

Sounds like either the springs are shot or broken. The good news is that they are a spare part. You will have to remove the seat to look underneath.
 
Thanks Nick.

Good to know there's a spare part available. Looks like another job on the list of things to do!

Cheers
