how to keep initial position with jiggle physics?

I’m simulating jiggle physics with a sphere, locked angular limits, and limited linear X motion to 5. In the linear motor, I set the X position target to 0, and the stength to 500, but when I simulate the sphere falls to the limit. If I increase the strength, it falls less, but that also makes the spring movement stiffer.

How can I keep the initial position, independent of the strength?

Currently using spring controllers, but this doesn’t look as good as physics bodies

So I still just need a way to keep the physics bodies’ initial position. ideas?

Hm yes, although i’d love to use physics bodies
