Does the "Increase Rigidity" tune improve the handling of a car?

[y2kgamer]

The "Increase Rigidity" option is in the "Other" section of the parts store.

I've read the description and it says it could increase understeer. I've only done it for a stock R34 Skyline so far and it seems to improve the handling, but I'm want to know how it might affect my rarer 6.2 mile used cars.

Does the "Increase Rigidity" tune improve a stock car's handling (i.e. Chevy Corvette, Honda NSX, Ford Mustang, Mazda RX-7, Nissan Skyline)?

Does the "Increase Rigidity" tune improve a race car's handling (i.e. DTM cars, JGTC cars, Prototypes)?

How does the "Increase Rigidity" tune affect the handling of a FF car? FR car? MR car? 4WD car?

Well... when you race the car, the body has tendencies to do ''distorsions'' when you turn and curve... Increase the rigidity is like adding torsion bars on the car, it add enough rigidity so the car stop distorsionning (holy hell this word is killing me, dunno if its good). Normally yes it improves handling.

I cant really say much, its all I know... I put it on every car tho...

They really scare people with that comment boy, I know alot of people that were affraid to put it on just because of that note.

Ive done massive testing on this and for the most par it always improves handling. I say "for the most part" because there are the odd few that handle better without, so far I found like 1 or 2 out of 80cars tested while tuning the car.

So what Ive done is put on "Restricted Save" in the game configuration, drive arround without it and Save the game, then install it and drive her arround again if the handling is less to your liking restart and if you like it move on.

BUT If your NOT willing to go through these test, or you dont feel your qualified to judge weather they are improvements or Not, Then Install it on everything, because 78 to 2 it workes better on. & if one of your rides understeers more then you think it should, try it without.

How about someone putting together a list of cars it works and doesn't work for?

I'm not good enough to be that sort of a judge though, as I've only had it for a few weeks

And even if it makes the car hard to drive, the problems can usually be tuned out by softening the suspension and stabilizers.
