    Redline Magazine "KILLER C2" has an article on these types of doors.



    CHOICE & CONSIDERATION



    # choice; scissor (Lamborghini), gullwing (Mercn300sl), suicide (RX8), butterfly (toyota Sera)



    # these doors will have "wobble" because the door has to move in two axis; out then up.



    # the cheaper the kit the worse the 'wobble".



    # some kits don't open that far so you'll have to contort yourself to get in & out of the car.



    UNIVERSAL KIT



    # universal kits were you need to weld are bad; as you limit the adjustability... DONT ASSUME WELDING IS THE ONLY OPTION



    # universal kits can not take into account the weight of your door.



    DIRECT BOLT ON



    # it is much better to find a direct bolt-on kit designed specifically for your car.



    # a bolt-on kit can allow the car to be returned to standard.



    # it's struts should have been designed with consideration given to the weight of your door.



    CONCLUSION



    # looks Kool.



    # many sharks in this market



    # only a handfull are worth their money in quality and design



    # it is better to buy a kit designed specifically for your car then a cheap "bodgy" fits all kit; so go for a purpose built kit design specifically for your car.



    # never ever rush into this mod



    # do not be tempted to do this mod on the cheap



    # is it legal in your state?



    # is your kit approved, do you require an engineer certificate?
