I have no idea.

I felt this would be a great time to comment on the ridiculously huge size of the balt doors though.
also I wanted to see how this would go, it'd be sweet with no handles.

15lb is pretty light... I'd suggest a 35, 40, or even 50lb kit. We sell Spal as well as Autoloc if you need anything.

Most of our past customers chose Spal and liked it quite a bit.

I have a shaved kit install & I can tell ya go with the 40lb & up! I relocated mine under the seat, so if I needed to adjust or service I don't have to take off the door panel! I've now had it install almost 2 years.
The reason I didn't put them in the door is clearance & Service, I also get extra points at shows for relocating them!

Heres the link to my install,
Hoffman group & a local Bicycle shop is where I got mine, but that was 2 years ago I was looking.

15 is to light i have an 87 regal with shaved doors and only have 35 lbs on them I have used them for more then 7 years no problems they are the spal ones. And to the post 2 above me how is a lambo door any easier then a shaved door? it dont get any easier then walk up to the car hit the button on my alarm remote and the door pops open same as pass. side. for a lambo kit u have to open it alittle the lift the door up in the air then pull the damn thing back down once inside. Plus lambo doors look ugly. And have u even seen peple using them in the winter when there car has 10 inches of snow on it. LOL nothing funnier IMO

That Depends on How you do it.... I Had mine welded, it was $400.00 a door & then the door had to be painted. Lucky in my case because my whole car was getting done!
