I have the same problem, but its one I have learnt to live with, it doesn't happen all the time, it has got slightly worse now they have been on 14 months,

Has any one who has changed their seat and cover had the same problem with the 2" springs afterwards

I love the look of the scissor springs so I ordered some off eBay; however, they wouldn't fit on the "studs" that come out of the frame. Any idea which ones La Rosa uses?

Dont really know exactly. An idea is take some heat to the one's you have and stretch them out a bit. I took a 1/8th bit and drilled through the posts. I use a cotter pin to keep it from sliding up and down, but they fit pretty tight once the front allen bolt is installed. Here is link to some I found on Ebay, this store sells La Rosa saddles. I dont know if the scissors are the same though. Hope this helps
