Chesterfield Posted August 11, 2007 Share Posted August 11, 2007 Lambo door kits on the Z are great for attracting viewers at shows etc, but due to no interior strengthening on the Z doors, they can be a little flimsy. They also have the pottential (and are very likely to) cause the door to catch the paintwork on the A pillar. I would wait until you have had chance to look round a Z fitted with Lambo doors before making the modification to your own car - the Magnaflow Sunset roadster has lambo doors fitted and you can see the measures taken to avoid damage to the paintwork - have a good look round it at the next show before taking the plunge would be my advice.

Zedrush Posted August 12, 2007 Share Posted August 12, 2007 Danny if you are going for Lambo doors get the lsd version, DO NOT BUY THE CHEAPER VERSIONS THEY ARE CRAP TRUST ME. It is all down to the quality of the bracket and most lambo doors are crap! What will happen is after a while your door will be misallined it wont shut properly will damage your car bodywork, you will cringe everytime a passenger gets out wondering if they will shut it properly as its very easy to misshut and end up with a cracked window All you have to do is ask Andy the problems my last Z had when done this as mine had cheap lambo doors on, the rule of thumb is you get what you paid for. And with the damage costs you will have to fork out with you will wished you had bought lsd doors On another note Andys lsd doors are the nuts, strong brackets and perfect lift. I am planning to do mine again and am speaking to a guy who can do koenigsegg style doors. He is mapping up for me what will need to be done in order to achieve this and make the movement of the door opening going up and closing by remote Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zedrush Posted August 12, 2007 Share Posted August 12, 2007 Will do mate if you are based in the south east you are more than welcome to come with me to the guys garage, he has an amazing array of modified Jap cars in his garage. He even adjusts cars and power bands according to the driver weight., he has been in the buisness for 15 years of modifying Jap cars and knows them inside out. He has already done four cars with these doors you have to see it to believe it. The backets are like almost 2 inches thick Unlike some lambo brackets that crack under the doors weight cos they are only 5mm thick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy Posted August 13, 2007 Share Posted August 13, 2007 Danny, as others have said, it is better to pay the money and get a decent kit or you will forever be wincing at the clunking sound as metal grinds on metal!!! i fitted the LSD kit to mine a couple of months ago. The instructions are pretty poor imo but a bit of common sense goes a long way. Sounds like Jay's company will do you proud though!! Let us know how you get on!!

DANNY Posted August 13, 2007 Author Share Posted August 13, 2007 cheers for that i had a read and decided ill save up rather than spend money on cheap ones. im still interested in seeing what other options can be done with the doors aswell.

pooky74 Posted August 25, 2007 Share Posted August 25, 2007 last sunday I met one our french member with those doors but it's not really "lambo" door. You opened it as a normal door and after you push it up. The really "lambo" doors up immediatly when you open it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DANNY Posted August 25, 2007 Author Share Posted August 25, 2007 that is one nice 350 there, im still lookin into the other options i can do but i think i need to wait till i actually get the car befor i spend money on the door kits.
