It would help to know what your issue with the seat is.

The main issue I fixed was a seat that offered poor forward visibility. I was able to install 4.5" riser blocks between the metal seat pan and the seat structure. Problem solved! To be fair, 4.5" maybe a little overkill as 3.5 would have been enough, but had no need to cut down the blocks. The seat also had a stop to limit swivel, that was removed.

When you fixed the seat what kind of riser blocks did you use?

I find the Springfield stuff perfectly fine and I am pretty abusive of my seat. Only complaint is some of the screws and bolts keep working their way out, I need to loctite them next time. Mostly metal parts, hard to find fault with that.
