Replaced my front bumper beam with jdm item.
Mine was in pretty bad shape. I was just going to replace it then i seen the jdm ones.
Got a used one off ebay from east coast.
About 5kg lighter on the nose of the car. easy swap.

Due to the reo bar being lighter ?

yeah its heaps lighter. "27.75 lbs for the USDM beam and 10.5 lbs for the JDM"

i researched it and the usdm one was beefed up to reduce damage on low speed impacts. some american safety policy standards. we just inherited it from them.

top piece here is audm/usdm beam
