Chassis Reinforcement

Ok so I've seen people that buy this for their drift machines, and people that don't. I'm just curious if anyone can shed some light on what it actually does (in game I mean) and if it is beneficial for drifting, or not?

Chassis Reinforcement = Rigidity = More stability (Simple way of explaining it)

Thanks, that's pretty much what I had been assuming all along simply based on the in-game description. Like I said, I've seen people that go without that upgrade and I just didn't know if maybe they knew something I didn't. Specifically, I was looking at http://www.teamshmo.com/Tunes/Mazda/Drift/Mazda-RX-8-Type-S-2007.php and that is what made me wonder.

People say it makes the car understeer but if I have a very un rigid car (i.e. a yank tank) it dosent hurt to use it

It kinda does but I slight tune change will fix it.

You should pretty much always do this to your drift cars. I can't see a situation where you wouldn't want to. If it ends up being too stiff afterward, reduce your spring rate and/or shocks, but at least you have control over it now rather than it being an uncontrollable amount of play in your suspension.
