These kits aren't so called "bolt on". In fact you might run into a lot of trouble with the installation on these. Take that money and put it into something cooler. Like something from Japan. Besides them doors are a pain in the rear to get in and out of. A kid i know put them on his "show" em2 and was not happy with the final product, and now regrets putting them on.

my friend ricky's dad owns the best customs shop around here and they only use GT Factory or LSD brand kits, they DO bolt right on, but supposedly u have to rol fenders, and if u have F1 or other rice fenders u may be SOL... also verticaldoorconversion.com is good

from experience, the cheapos (400bucks) are made of shitty soft metal that will bend over time and the door wont line up right any more, the shocks will blow and ull have terrible alignment, and shitty luck with the bump stop adjustment whatevers (like the thingys in shifters so u dont shift too far in the tranny..) suck.. and with the flimsy soft metal and poor geometry and shitty shocks, it will be cool for a little while (but still a pain in the *** to install since the cheapos arent true boltons(the cheapos have some bolts plus welding and ****)

then, ur be chillen with ur boys in front of taco bell sittin in ur car sideways with the door lambo'd then some wind will come and wobble the door, bent the mechanism, and the shocks suck too so the door will come down and whack u in the head and be bent too...

cliffs: if u must, only go for GT Factory, LSD, or verticaldoorconversion.com, the first two being most preferable...


i think theyre cool too but not practical for a daily driver thoguh, maybe if u have an accord and S2000 or a teg u drive sometimes put it on that, what made me sober up from the rice is that i realized, knowing myself to have slow reflexes(except while actually driving)and being 6foot tall, id end up whacking my head on the door too often, or be lazy, not lambo it up all the way, and have it come back down, like a hatchback when u open it halfway and then it stays for a while then slams on ur head, instead of staying halfway open or continuing up....


not practical...
