Yup!
I was tempted to do that! But, you said only one in your post and on the sites it specifies one per seat. I was still tempted to try two but after putting in one it was so nice. From loose and rocking to just perfect. So, I put away my extra one for another day or when one of the other ones wear out.
It was kind of amazing, the improvement.
Still hard to only use one! I want symmetry, and I like overkill.
