Has anyone done it on street cars. I race 450 to 550pp online and in GT5 I found that it would tighten a car up or cause it to push. So I had to purchase all new cars and start over since this cant be removed from the cars. I was wanting to know has anyone tried it in GT6? Did it make the car handle better overall or just one end of the car. Say it caused it to push or it loosened them up. I wish this could be added and removed like everything else in the game.. So I would like to hear from others that have done it to street cars. Race cars need not answer as I dont race them a lot.. Thanks guys and gals.....

I was just wondering the same thing. I haven't done any testing yet, but in GT5 it would kill a cars usable oversteer and make them push like you said. Some cars that were oversteer prone it would help cure some of it. But I usually opted to tune out the oversteer instead of improving body rigidity. So keep in mind when you test it make sure you are starting out with a balanced car.

I wasn't going to say anything yet, because it's a little surprising, but since you asked. I was getting my butt kicked on the NASCAR series today with my Ford, so I messed with the suspension a little. I'm not that much into NASCAR so I just wanted to get it done. It still had too much oversteer since I didn't want downforce so...I changed the oil. While I was there I did the chassis improvement thing. When I got back, I not only won the Daytona race, but also the others easily. I mean I was half a track in front of second place at Twin Ring. I know the oil change adds power, but not like that. When I remembered to change the oil in my new Veyron it added one MPH.
So I'm not sure what really went on here. More testing is needed.

I did very little testing on this last nightwith a Honda Integra. It didn't feel like Gt5's version where it added a ton of understeer, but I really couldn't tell much difference. My lap times were near identical with two of the same cars, same mods, same settings. I thought i might be able to tell since the fwd Integra already understeers, but maybe I need to try RWD.

Seems to be necessary for fitting Racing Tires to road cars, gets rid of that last little bit of body movement that spring rates/dampers/ARBs can't deal with.
I'd say that if you feel your car could do with being more stable and constant but upping the suspension stiffness makes it harsh and unresponsive then Body Rigidity Improvement might hold the solution, conversely if you want to use the weight transfer to get faster weight shift and response then you are probably best off not fitting it.

Higher front spring rates promote direction change. Upping the overall stiffness of the suspension makes it more response, until you go over board and it isn't absorbing enough energy from the driveline and/or road. It helps until it starts making the car slide around. I used to do very soft setups. Better braking on average as well with higher spring rates as it can kill a bit of nose dive, stabilizing the rear. At the same time, stabilizing the front when you open up the throttle. Springs are solely for supporting vehicle weight. Dampers control reaction to response and input. Every has their own methods to their madness, though.

I used body rigidity very often, always give good result 
I have some rally replica made from road car, they all have rigidity. I even added it on my race car replica built on race car 
I did a baseline setup without then installed rigidity, only needs a damper tweak and maybe a click on ARB to make it drive like without. A well tuned suspension will only need little tweaks.

Rally replicas in GT5? Or in GT6?I used body rigidity very often, always give good result

Then, could you put the tunes of TMG R3 Rally GT86, please? I would like to see it.

Notes :
The real car is not yet released, but I already made a would be replica
The replica is WIP, meaning when the car actually released with additional infos, I will update the tune to reflect the new spec. In the mean time, this will do, built for tarmac, dirt and snow, the tune works for all surfaces, 3 sets of tires ( SM, Dirt and Snow ). The R3 replica tested and tuned at Toscana, Chamonix, Matterhorn, and Eiger Trail.
Have fun sliding with 86 GT, the FR heaven

Ah! Didn't know that, but anyway... The tune looks awsome... Especially when an R3 will make an debut in WRC.
Anyways, I also would like to see more of rally tunes made by you, I'll need them for a few future plans. I do not mean the Legacy and the 86 GT but an replica for Ford Focus RS WRC'02, for example.

Yup, great mod, makes the cars much more consistent for me. Its like all the setting hold and don't flex all over the place.
