Seat Spring Kit for 2002 Hustler Z

[jdhardin]

My Z has the standard seat, and I REALLY need to do something to ease my aching back. I've read about spring kits for the smaller models, but is there one for the Z? Can the kits for the smaller models be modified to work on a Z?

I have seen people make the seat spring kit for the FasTrak work on the Hustler Z's and Mini Z's.

That's interesting - I haven't seen that before. How's it compare to a full suspension seat? My thinking is that the "U" springs might be better simply because they have some fore and aft give. Not sure the suspension seat would have that. But I'll check with my dealer.

I know of many Hustler Mini Z's and Hustler Z's that have went home with the FasTrak seat spring kit on it. Customers I have talked to consider it an affordable way to improve operator comfort.

Thanks for the information. I think I'll check with my dealer tomorrow about the spring kit.
