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.

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

there is a place in Downey that did mine. and then of course i have the convenience of just going to the dealership everytime there is a glitch as a result. which unfortunately is often...

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