is the foam compressed or breaking down or is it just sitting lower? It sits on thin wires which eventually cuts into the foam.. Put something between those wires and the foam. i I wrapped the wire "platform" in my seat base with cast-off section of metal screen and wrapped that with aluminum foil tape to keep a flexible base that can no longer cut through the foam. I basically used stuff I had lying around to do it and unfortunately didn't take pics. Thick burlap or canvas or felt may work as well. It needs to be something flexible but stronger or at least more cut resistant than the foam.

However, while googling for a picture, I found that Classic Industries sells the seat foam for a 1995 Firebird which might be the same seat foam as the base Firebird & Formula cloth seats from 1993-2002

Thanx for the link. I do not see where they sell just the seat bottom. If I could get the bottom I would experiment on one for sure, my seats are shot, just the foam, I picked up a set of OEM take offs a couple of years back from a guy in Detroit.

Default I do wonder

I have been looking for several years also. It is good to know that the 93 - 97 seat foam would work. Also good to know about insulating the foam from the springs.
