They are called Dynamic Dampers.

From what I could tell, they are for low speed crashes.

They help roll the frame to safe places in a crash. You don't "really" need em. You also don't have to cut them off either. Just unbolt them, it takes less than 5 minutes.

no. They are vibration dampers. You can unbolt them. You will shave about 20 pounds off your car.

Take them off or leave them on but get some mesh on that thing.

Take them off and use them to build muscle. They aren't needed and weight a lot.
