Ok, I am abandoning the idea of low Spring setting. I am back with
Spring and Damper at 100%. I tested all the low settings, and Centering
Spring is 15% (on my system) with Spring and Damper at 100%. I'll test
higher numbers as well (for now I tested Centering Spring 0-22%). I am using
Overall at 118%.
