Here's a test I just discovered to see how springy the steering wheel twists before it hits a stop:

Car off/EPS off, key in ignition so the steering wheel will move.
Jerk the wheel one way as fast and hard as you can.

You will twist the steering wheel and then feel a solid knock. This is the limit of the amount that the spring will twist until it hits a physical stop.
