Yeah thats a pretty thick bar, unless it has a mountain of rust in it.

ok
i should probably give you guys a bit background info
so this doesn't turn into a "ha ha what a n00b! and now he's denying it" thread
the cross member was previously replaced, but i noticed with the new cross member
it had kind like grooves on the side like this one
http://completefto.com.au/Modules/Parts ... sp?bid=220
the one i had on there before had no grooves along the bottom edges and it was slightly wider between the two mounts
so that why i was asking if there's a difference between the GPvR and the GPX cos i don't really want to have to replace it again
after a bit of hard driving
