lol, while were at it, lets talk about critical damping and calculating your springs stiffness for the wieght of the rider involved, such that the spring returns to equilibrium position the fastest to give the smoothest, best ride possible........

so, i believe the formula goes as so
b = (4KM)^1/2, where b is the damping coeffecient, K is the spring constant in N/M, and M is the mass of the rider in KG, lol, must stop now, to many big confusing words for all ppl in this chat

I drilled some holes in the rubber part and it helped the compression end. The rubber is so hard, that it would not compress easily. The many holes drilled in the rubber let the rubber compress on itself, and eased the bottom out.

 Nice job ;D You're totally right that the rubber stopper is just too stiff.
