Hello all,
I have been doing some searching online and experimenting with things i already know to implement a suspension system into a car im rigging. I have messed around with some math equations for dampening but can not figure it out. Basically i have just messed with having to objects and when one is translated in Y the object it is driving would have a lagged or dampened effect. And i have it figured out some way but it doesnt settle in and its a continues back and forth as the other object is moving. If there is some documentation or tutorial on something similar to this that someone can point out i would appreciate it very much. Thanks for your time and any help you give.

Thanks, thats a interesting plugin but not exactly what i was looking for. I am rigging the car for a friend and also using it as a learning experience for myself.
