the reason they're so heavy are because they have reinforcement bars in them incase you get t-boned. earlier doors have less reinforcement, and therefore are lighter. but with the 88 doors (and 89 hf and all hatches) you'd need either harnesses or to convert to pillar mounted belts.

what you *could* do, however i wouldn't, is cut out parts of the horizontal structure right on the inside of the door skin. that's where all the weight is.
