Are all coupe seats interchangeable?

Slightly off topic I just sold my 1930 coupe which I drove thousands of miles in with absolutely no back problems . I now just have the 1930 Phaeton which although much more practical and a nicer finished cars tends to give me back problems . I'm convinced that the problem is that the seat is higher in the Phaeton and of course non adjustable . This means I need to twist when I get out/in to get my legs to clear the steering wheel. I plan to wire the springs to drop the seat and backrest a little bit. Does anyone know how far you can do this with out affecting the comfort of the seat?? Karl

I wired the springs in my 29 tudoor by wiring together two adjacent winds of each coil. No noticeable difference in comfort. Could probably easily do twice that much if needed. It will only lower the sitting height about half as much as you would think.
