I am getting ready to remove my kit if you are interested. It is from verticaldoors.com and it is a direct bolt on. No welding to your car or the kit.
This website shows the different manufactures http://www.vertical-door-kits.com/

the more things change
i've had mine on for about a year and a half. they are bolt on, and i have not had a problem with them. if you get welds you can never go back without messing up the car. if you get them go bolt on. and i would not go with the guys i used, with the amount of money i spent they would not even wash my car and i asked too.

Mazdamaniac has the GT Factory kit and it is very stable and nice. No side-to-side play at all. It was convincing enough to have me order my own. Don't get a cheap ebay knock-off
And GT Factory door kit has a lifetime warranty too

all different vendors have them for a wide range of prices. I just found one on sale for $1000. Best qualitly kit out there.
Just Froogle it. You can't too particular because the range is $1400-$800. I would say stay away from bottom-end one because they can be knock-offs and without the qualitly and/or warranty.
But the GT kit is super qualitly- dual gas struts to lift the door, and CNC chromoly steel hinges. Lifetime warranty speaks volumes.

Someone around here put on a set that actually allowed the doors to go full verticle for much better access, but I don't know what kind they were. It may be the guy in Greece.

My 8 was used for prototyping the new bolt-on hinge from GT Factory. Just as stable as the weld-on hinge but without all the work. Its a pretty straightforward install and the kit retails for $1600.
If you want to order it:
go to www.gtfactory.jp
and call them about the rx-8 bolt on hinge.

I'm also installing new Koni's and Sprint springs so I'll post up pics when it's all done

Can someone confirm if they've purchased this similar universal kit, the price sounds to good to be true....
