 Frame strengthening with foam!

Recently I read two articles from club4ag which contained using polyurethane expansion foam to strengthen the body of the AE86.
Here's a bit from one:
".. The second step in structural reinforcement involves the use of expansion polyurethane to fill doorsills and rocker panels. The 2 part, high-density mix is used to solidify hollow areas of the mid-chassis and cabin floor pan. It has been tested to increase torsional rigidity of the AE86 3 door by 45% percent as opposed to 11% by 6 point roll cage .."
Link to full article:

And used in a racing levin in all frame structures:

Has anyone ever heard of this or done this?
If so where can I get this stuff, is it easy to use, and about how much does it cost?
I'm just starting an ae86 project, and since im going to strip everything, was just wondering if it's worth doing...
Car will be mainly used for street driving, maybe motokhanas drifting and the odd drag!
