Harper,
 
What Mondo Springs?
 
Perhaps when these are used in non-320 aircraft they have stronger springs.  Usually the difficulty comes from high resistance in the cable carriers (double when you install pedals on both sides).  Once built, one way to lessen the resistance is to lubricate the cables with a special tool that clamps over the end of the tubing allowing you to force the lubricant up (or down) the tube(s).
 
On the other hand, high resistance can be an advantage.  Once the rudder is set (in cruise or climb), it will stay there - automatic trim.

Does anybody have any suggestions what to do about the mondo big springs
on the second version of the factory rudder pedals.  I have a Lancair
320 in the endless build mode.  It has the dual pedal setup and the
friction with both of the pedals hooked up is REALLY heavy.  What have
folks done to alleviate the situation?  Any help would be great.
