Rags2Bitches Posted March 12, 2009 Report Posted March 12, 2009 if your 6'1 then I would be thinking more about doing 90 degree lambos.... and bolt-ons rust easier and aren't as sturdy. If you plan on putting them on both sides, and you have someone that doesn't know wtf they're messing with (like most of my friends) the bolt-ons will give in alot quicker. www.mypsace.com/ineedagirl2006

If you plan on putting them on both sides, and you have someone that doesn't know wtf they're messing with (like most of my friends) the bolt-ons will give in alot quicker. i was thinking about that too. i've been looking at the 75 degree doors and they don't see good for me. i was gonna go with the 90. so welded it is then. but still, which brand is the best for welded? 1994 Ford F150 reg cab 2 HFX 12's Audiopipe APSM-1300
audiofanaticz Posted March 13, 2009 Report Posted March 13, 2009 if you buy a good kit, it shouldnt matter if they are weld on or bolt on... Most weld on kits are universal kits, where as a direct bolt on kit is 100% made for that vehicle. How a grade 8 bolt is not going to be strong enough to support your door is beyond me since most doors are bolted onto the cars. A weld on kit not rusting compaired to a bolt on kit is the biggest load of bs i ever heard. Its metal, and will rust no matter what over time, If the metal/steel is not finished your bound to have rust problems. vertical doors are the best ones around that Ive found Also depending on what kind of kit you get, you can get kits that will still allow you to open your doors normally or have the option to have it be like a lambo style kit.

B Slaps Posted March 13, 2009 Report Posted March 13, 2009 i would do bolt on, just because if you happen to not like it later on down the road your not stuck with a major modification trying to put the regular hinges back on. just a thought. the weld on ones are the cheapest. i would do like a few others said verticle doors.

It really depends on what you get.But yea, the convience of a bolt on kit is better, your not going to have to take hours lining up where you got to weld on your kit, you have the ability to take them off if you decide you dont like them, or you want to sell the car, but keep the door kit for a new vechile if its the same. I want to say that LSD doors are crash tested, not all companies crash test them (lsd says they are the only ones), but I think virtical doors do too. but that is a bonus if they do and you know your buying something that will survive a side impact unlike a cheaper kit that may rust or break. http://www.lsd-doors.com/uk/static/content/crash_test.php Also when adding lambo doors to your vehicle also remember that your going to need to extend every wire in your door at least 2 feet ( power windows, power locks, speakers, lights, etc) Here is a vertical door kit, $1800 http://www.verticaldoors.com/cart/view_pro...php?ItemID=1079 A lsd kit is almost $2000. A real lambo door kit is going to cost you a easy $1500+ not including installation As for the bolt on vs weld on kits, just goodle it. Here is from one site What is the difference between a weld-on kit and a bolt-on kit? Nothing. The mechanism itself is identical. The weld-on kit contains a couple of extra items which convert the car to accept a bolt-on kit. These extra items need to be welded to the car and/or door to enable the kit to be fitted. Many European cars need the conversion carried out, since they have weld-on hinges as standard - obviously you cannot bolt a kit to a hinge that was originally welded. Im so sick of people giving false info on this site... If you dont know, dont post. /end thread.
