Default Verticle door quality question

http://www.bodykitwholesale.com/prod...22def0d1b1100d

I just wondered about the quality of this kit. I see its made for the tC, which is a good thing to look for. Also has a 2 year warranty. What do you guys think? Is this a situation where I get what I pay for? and a few questions

1. Will it effect my side airbags?
2. I read you have to replace your schoks in them eventually, when does that occur, how can you tell and how much is replacing them (I couldnt afford something excessive so i wanna make sure)

Thanks.

you'll know when the door shocks go out/bad when they can't hold the door up any longer

I had that kit and it sucks @$$ I only used it for shows but quickly got rid of it at the end of the show season. I currently don't have a replacement and don't think i will put another kit on. If you really want a nice kit, get Vertical Doors! I have seen many of them and i have yet to see a bad one.

Thanks, that solved my decesion about getting that kit...all I need to know is about these shocks going bad, sounds scary. I would be furious if my doors don;t open or fall off. Unless shock replacing is minor. Maybe these arnt pratical for a daily driver.

Nope, i had gaps, wind noise, closing issues, etc. I just said screw it...deal with it until the show season is over and get rid of them!

Just to give you an idea...this is what my car was like this past season. This was at TunerWars in PA...
