The only time I change SA is when I'm doing WTTT and I want to get a better time. SA off takes a bit of getting used to but I find the car holds its tracktion better through turns but you'll have to adjust your braking zones to suit (otherise you'll lock up and slide off the track). Then its a matter of SS setting. I chose SS5 first but for twitchy cars (like F1 cars) I use SS0. If a car seems slippery with SA low, try it with SA off SS5 and most of time you'll find the car grips better (once you get used to it and adjust braking zones accordingly). There was one instance a few months ago when this subject came up, so I turned SA back on and made some runs in WTTT. I don't remember the car, but it was at hockenheimring. I trimmed over a full decond off my previous best. It changed the braking on the car so much, that if I brakes at my normal point, I would actually stop just at the beginning of the turn. Once I adjusted for the braking difference, I did much better than with SA off. Then, I went back to my normal "no assists" and could not match my new time.

Also, I think it's easier to learn no assist driving on the higher end cars. They are much more forgiving, then when you get used to that, the crappy slippery cars are no problem.
