Seat wont recline

I have posted about this before. The lean the seat forward crack it back method did not work. In fact now there is a little play in the leaning of the seat.

I took it to mini and they told me that I needed to replace the springs...Which is like a $200 part. Bad option. Anyone have another place to get it? Anyone have a seat sitting around?
