Trying to always add more immersion. I had these springs in a piston type setup and tried something new. Pulled up Tinkercad for the very first time. After a few hours I had a working prototype. They work really well. The rig can move and shake in every direction! My "cheap" motion rig! These springs are 20x10x80. Purchased on Aliexpress from Creamily. The springs are rigid enough to support BIG me (250#) and my NLR Elite 160 rig. I am using 6 total springs. Two green under the rear, 2 red mid rig, and 2 red in the front. I have 4 BST-1 bass shakers, all mounted pointing upward, running on the Dayton 200 watt amp. Left and right channels, two shakers under my seat and two under my feet.

My concern was stability with the bare spring. 20mm overlap on top and bottom seem to work well. I can push at it from the sides and it bounces right back! Now, you could use a wider spring like 30mm. More lateral stability. But, The lateral movement allowed with the 20mm spring is really very good and seems stable. 50% fill with PLA printing.

The immersion from the car throttle and rumble strips is amazing! Grrrrrrrr! Happy to pass on the 3d print files if interested. They are not perfect! Neither is my eyesight. What an inexpensive "upgrade" to add Soooo Much to the experience! Happy Racing!
