TRD Door Stabilisers

[Izso]

While researching some TRD stuff, I came across this very unusual TRD part that claims :

New feature – an industry first (patent pending)
Fills the gap in the door striker area using a spacer. This provides quicker steering response by cutting down the delay from when the steering wheel is turned.
The built-in sliding mechanism automatically adjusts the gap to zero.
Designed to be easy to install, yet maintains a strong visual presence.

Well, if it's by TRD it must be true. But look at what it is! :

Read about it on Speedhunters. It was installed on a TRD demo GT86. Seems like it's there to sturdy up the door structure, resulting in less roll.

Well, structurally I believe a car with no doors would be more rigid than one with doors. But adding this would make the car more rigid or the door tighter to the chassis.. er...

I wonder if I could diy a piece for testing.

The purpose is to hold the door tight to eliminate freeplay right? Looks kinda easy to fabricate
