What's your opinions/experiences with rollcages and the way the affect cars' behaviour in GT4? I would assume that stiffer is better and more "neutral", and that suspension tuning will take care of the balance, but I've found no real proof of what it does to a car's handling yet.. And since I generally like my cars on the soft side, I'm sort of reluctant to buy without hesitation. After trying a lot of cars with these on and off, the results are very much within the 'placebo' range (I may have noticed something, but nothing convincing either way), as with a few other settings.
One of these is the stabilizer/anti roll bar. I may start to notice a pattern on one or two cars, but on my next it's seemingly reversed. Now I know the way GT4 cars react to some settings (including shocks and springs) aren't quite true to RL, so I don't really trust RL facts when it comes to stabs either. I know that a soft front bar and stiff rear bar should make the car looser, but to be honest I've found 2/3 to be looser than both 1/4 and 4/1 on some cars (may be the placebo effect at play again). I'm aware that most cars will probably have some sort of a "critical" setting to be as neutral as possible (I like my cars on the loose end of neutral, at least for front engined cars), but I can't really explain why both 1/4 AND 4/1 should be tigher/pushier than 2/3.... I assumed that one should be too loose and the other too tight, can anyone explain or elaborate how stabilisers work in GT4 (not necessarily =IRL)?
