Chassis Reinforcement?

[Bludragon]

I always see ppl in the tuning section saying NOT to buy this? I'm just curious why is that? Anyone?

Then those people obviously do not know what they're doing.

Chassis Reinforcement tends to secure a lot of understeer onto the car, so it's undesirable on nearly all tastes in the tuning world of GT5. At least, that's what a lot of people say. However the chassis reinforcement can be beneficial on a couple of cars that lacks quick suspension response.

Would we say that the AC Cobra needs chassis reinforcement? I would say yes....

I hear that it better improves most car handling.

I was thinking that earlier lol

I don't guarantee my post so I guess you could try it out.

Bolded nullifies the rest of your post

its called an 'upgrade' for a reason. it stiffens the chassis

why would PD put in an upgrade that makes your car handle worse?

Those who say it does, strictly placebo effect..

Oh, sorry. It can secure some understeer on some cars, right?

You get more grip with it. If it's causing understeer, just dial it out.... and you will still add more grip with it.

From my experience it makes cars more stable at higher speeds or near the limits of the car. I wish I could ask the guys at the top of the time trial leader-boards if their cars had chassis reinforcement. That would clear things up quickly....

thanks all for the replys, i almost always put it on my cars

Me too

I don't see a problem with it at all...

Just make sure to tune appropriately.

I leave it off my FF cars. Just makes some cars too rigid in my opinion

 

[iamjajo]

I have used it on 4 of my more than 800 cars. It seems to make the car drive more consistently in some applications.

In theory, it ought to improve the performance of almost any modern era car because it stiffens the unibody structure. But, the game doesn't work the same way as real life.

Chassis reinforcement is a service which enables your own car to take back its keen handling after it accumulates damage on the body from exterior impacts disabling it to maintain quick response in cornering any longer, although the device can make some cars which originally have sharp handlings more sticky... so depends on the type of your machine.

I think it works with some cars and not with others. Try buying a couple of new cars and tuning them up, one with and one without reinforcement. You can definitely feel the difference if you have a wheel. Without reinforcement on some cars it makes them much more predictable and consistent. I don't put it on any of my 450pp SS cars for example. I recently ran a 15 lap race and 12/15of the laps were within 15/100ths of a second...and it was a victory.

My philosophy now it to leave it off and only if I can't get the car under control or don't think I'm getting all I can out of the car, only then do I put it on.

Are you talking about rebuilding the chassis in GT Auto menu or chassis reinforcement in the tuning menu?

 

[G24]

The only place where it seems to make a difference is when you do stage 3 weight reduction along with windows and hood, lowering the car, racing slicks and maxing out the HP- essentially race prepping it.

I've regretted doing chassis reinforcement to a few cars, it make's the car to "stiff" for my likings. I just keep my sport performance car's fairly stock and my real race cars fairly stock

Loose suspension old cars probably benefits the most from chassis reinforcement

Nope, that is so wrong and has been proved false by many expert tuners and by GT5 Scientis/Tune savvy people.

Yellow is confused by chassis rebuild and chassis reinforcement which are two different things. Chassis rebuild from the GT Auto menue, restores most of the original chassis rigidity in the car accumulated solely due to mileage. It cannot get you beyond the stock rigidity inherent in the chassis, just back close to it. The higher the mileage is on the vehicle, the farther away you are from the original chassis rigidity, even after restoration, although I think the differences are minute.

Chassis reinforcement in the tuning menu, adds rigidity to the chassis, beyond it's inherent, built in, original rigidity.

Yes!! This man knows what he is talking about, thank you for sharing the truth!
