Actually, I will have to say GT Factory's vertical door kit is without a doubt the best on the market. Decah and VDC have cornered the market on VDC kits and have big some of the bigger names out there, but their kits just don't work that well. For starters both Decah's and VDC's doors are in fact "butterfly" door kits, where the door actually flop over on an angle once up (doesnt stay straight up). In doing so, the simple task of getting in and out is actually hampered a bit. Second, the doors aren't as easy to bring down as everyone thinks. I sat in a Z with the Decah kit and once you sat down, getting the door back down actually took some effort. Last but not least, the fact that both Decah's and VDC's kits are "bolt-on" designs, and taking into consideration the extreme weight and angle at which they work at, the doors quite often need constant adjusting. All in all, for the money, it's just not worth IMO. The GT Factory design however is different! The doors with the GT kit actually go straight up, just like the real lambo doors. They do not flop over, and the amount of "head rood" you have to work with in getting in is twice as much as you do with the Decah and VDC kits. The doors simply go higher and further up, allowing you ample room to get in. Now unlike the Decah and VDC kit, the GT kit is not a bolt-on system, but rather a weld on kit. In doing so, it is 10X stronger and once setup it will never need adjusting again. True, you'll spend more time setting it up, but hey you'll only have to do it once. Another great part about the GT kit is the fact that it uses dual long travel gas shocks, vs the short stubby ones Decah and VDC uses, which enables it to have over 300lbs of force, so opening and closing the doors is truly efffortless! You can do so with just one finger. Try that with a Decah or VDC kit and you'll most likely break your finger! I have personaly seen the Decah kit (on a Z) and the GT kit (on an Evo) and the GT kit wins hands down! price wise, it's also right on the money! I've seen it selling for $1K even, which is not too bad. If you're a savy tech with welding experience, installation is also not too difficult. I've read a few articles on the GT kit and they all go on to say how the actual time spent "bolting" it up was pretty much the same amount of time you would have spent with the "bolt-on" kits. So in my book, the GT Factory is the way to go!

 

Look it up, you'll need to know this term for future reference. It is used quite often around here.


As for the "sissor doors" Spend the 1500-2000 on a good header, or exhaust, or use it toward good wheels or a SC, or Gears. There is a whole hellofa lot of better things to spend that kind of change on.

and if your saying "1500-2000 I wasn't spending that kind of money"
then you need to rethink the subject anyway.

Do what you please.....but I think you will regret it, especially after a few years.
