Let's hope at least!

I think one potential issue is the fact that the ICs are a bunch of welds holding various parts together (end-tanks, core, etc), whereas the crash beam is a contiguous piece of metal. The welds are going to be the weak point in the ICs I suspect. As soon as one lets go, then the force vectoring of the IC in a crash would be toast. It's one of the primary reasons I elected the GTM kit, since it keeps the crash bar. Unfortunately, that decision hasn't really panned out.
