TR lane Door Bars - Any good?

[Scho]

Got some of these bundled in with a roll bar, I'm undecided weather to fit or not?

I don't want to add weight if it's not going to make much impact on handling as I've removed virtually all the interior in an effort to lighten the car.

What do we think?

Brilliant. went with Russ (MrFlibbles) to see his being fitted (GP with a no diagonal).
Took 3 hours to fit and £320 all in. Workmanship is very very tidy, and the bars come with spreader plates and solid mounts.
i'm saving for one asap.

I've got a set too and they're good. Fit fine with normal seats, but I had to remove the drivers side bar to fit a Cobra Monaco in place. It went back fine, however, but the seat wont go all the way back.

Stiffen up the chassis around the door frame area.

I should have been clearer, what I'm looking for is an idea of how much benefit they give. I do understand what they do.

Has anyone else added these who already has Performance5 or FM frame rails? I already have P5 frame rails so wondered how much more there is to be had with these.

They also look a bit of a drag to manoeuvre around on a daily driver.
