You need new foam for the seat bottom & seat back. These are about $65-75 each, so $140 per seat & then you'll need new skins. You can get OEM pleather skins or get some custom, full leather skins from Ridies.com for about $500. I purchased new foam for my seats from chevynationparts.net. You can search for my seat thread & I have the part #s listed.

JABCAT, thanks for the tip, I checked out your thread for the part #s.
I also was wondering what tire sizes you're running on your 19/20 setup?
Are they Extremecontact Sports? Impressions?
Do you regret from a weight/power delivery standpoint upsizing to 19/20?

285/30/19 & 335/25/20 Extreme Contact Sports. The car doesn't get driven that much (2400 miles last year) but I like them. I swapped the wheels & tires in the first week I had the car so I really have no comparison regarding the weight/power delivery. The car gets driven on dry, sunny days & the tires have good grip. I also can't comment on "road noise" that so many owners complain about because my daily driver is a '16 Wrangler Unlimited on BFG Mud Terrains with a soft top now for summer, so the GS is quiet as a Caddy compared to that.
