I also play without assists (except for abs on all the road cars that have it)
I turned vibration off last night to check it out, I don't think I will be turning it back on. (Extra battery life)
The brakes in Forza games aren't progressive enough for me to drive without ABS well, regardless of vibration.
Forza might be the only game I need abs to drive really well in, too.
Edit: I forgot, at least in FM 5 and 6 with the wheel and pedals braking without abs was fantastic, it was another game that didn't give good brake feel, I'm not sure which, maybe FH3. I haven't had the wheel out much lately, just FH3 with the controller.
