i say neither! But if i had a gun to my head and only those two options id go with the cheaper priced. They both have the same hardware, same shocks and give the same quality. I would honestly push you towards auto loc. Their kit is amazing, but on the negative side you need to be or know a fabricator. Their brackets need to be welded on.

The jt kits are wobbly and will jack up your doors becuase they dont line up right when you close your door. You have to guide them in. Same applies to the vertical door co. If you leave the door up on a windy day, they sway side to side, and makes it look like your car is flapping its wings.

Yes they move some, but I disagree with the align part.... That's adjustable...

I helped my friend install his auto loc kit, and ive seen and rode in multiple cars with the JTautostyle kits. All which wobbled and all which had dings on their door hinges by improper adjustment and weak shocks. I prefer not to have the doors, becuase its just another thing i have to worry about, its suppose to be easy to get in and out of your car.

Go to the link in my sig and talk to a guy named Crispyxb. He can hook u up with lambo doors that bolt on for a great price I'm gettin ready to order mine as soon as I get the rest of the $$$ for it. Hope that helped.

P.S. I have a question about the install on the doors. Do you have to extend the wiring in the door or is there enough slack in the wiring for the doors to open?

The wires will pull out of the door for the Vertical door kit. so you don't have to splice and rewire at all
