Default Lambo Doors?

Ok, so one of the small mods i am going to be doing is Lambo Doors. I need to know a QUALITY kit, I see on e-bay they have ones from $1899.99 to $415.00. I am sure it is, you get what you pay for. Just curious what you guys suggest?

Thanks,
Ryan

Yeah thats what i figured, I have a friend at Autoloc with the automatic lambo doors, but he says you have to tap into the security system and bypass a whole bunch of crap!

I've installed almost every kind of kit, from the $400 eBay kit, to $2000 LSD kits. As a rule of thumb, the more expensive kits are better quality.

Here is my opinion of quality and use over the kits:

#1 LSD: This kit has the highest quality materials and fits excellent. It goes up about 50 or 60 degrees.

Tied #2 VDC/GTFactory: The Vertical doors kit and GTF kits both run about $1000 for a 350z. However, the GTF kits REQUIRES the use of their fiberglass door panels, which are additional. The LSD kit installs relatively well (must modify certain things in order for best performance) and goes up about 50 degrees. The GTF kit install is the most difficult out of all existing kits for the 350z in particular. It uses the same high quality components as the LSD, but is a full custom weld on unit that requires some 50 - 75 hours for precise installation. It goes up almost 90 degrees, which is the standout feature of this kit.

Everything else is pretty much crap, including Decah and everything from eBay. The Decah kit's shock mount goes bad very quickly, as well their shocks seem to be the weakest. The eBay kits just don't fit without MAJOR modification, and with the additional work, ends up costing the same as the VDC.

Those are nice, but as previously stated, will require the fiberglass panels which give it the clearance necessary to go "vertical"
