I would also like the 130 doors better than the 90 ones i just wish is was not that exspensive to do. by the way 130 doors just go farther to the frony of the car instead of being straight up and down they are angled forward

Ive never been a fan of these, but doesnt seem like a bad idea, since ive had my monte, ive taken notice of the long doors. That price tag is a little big though.

I've always wanted these but the boss(my wife) says they are not needed. I have talked to the guy that done my tint about them, he's already installed a couple of the kits on monte's. He said the shocks don't hold but for around eight months. Don't know about you guy's, but if i pay that much for somthing like that it better last a while.

Those are pretty nice, but wouldn't like them too much in WI.

130 degree ones are good for someone like me, cuz i think it would be hard for me to get in with 90degree doors because they dont open up all the way, have to wiggle yourself in, but the 130 ones go up and around, look really cool, and would be a lot easier to get in

130 degree

90 degree door


most people think that the degree of the door is from the bottom of the door to the frame of the door, but its actually where the top left of the door sits in ratio to the bottom frame of the door

I would like to put them on mine someday also. Everything I've been told is to get ONLY the weld on type and make sure they open at least 90deg or more. Otherwise it's a mother getting in and out. I seen a Mitsi Eclipse with doors that only opened 45deg. I could hardly get in or out. I would have to see an actual installed unit before I purchased one. One installer quoted me $3000. Someone at a car show told me he did it for $750 himself.
Shock life to me an issue.
