Does the VDC kit replace my doors?

No it does not replace your doors. It only replaces your door hinges. You keep your original doors.

What kind of grease do I use?

We recommend using a

high quality automotive or marine grease designed to be injected using a grease

gun. Lucas Heavy Duty Grease or Green Grease are both good options. It should

be injected into the Zerk fittings on the hinge. There are 3 on the pivot assembly

and 1 on the shock end. You should add grease to these fittings once every 1-2

years. It may be necessary to lubricate the hinge more often depending on your

location and how much time the car spends outside.

How does the VDC kit function?

When inside you will grab the door handle of the car. Pushing the door away from you the door will open 12 - 18 inches like they do normally. From there the door will stop and not open horizontally any further. Once done you will now grab the bottom of the door and lift vertically. The door will then reach a certain point which it will not lift anymore. At this point you will be able to get in and out of the vehicle. In normal case the bottom back portion of the door will be higher than the roof of the vehicle.

When outside you will grab the door handle of the car. Pulling the door toward you the door will open 12 - 18 inches like they do normally. From there the door will stop and not open horizontally any further. Once done you will now grab the edge of the door and lift vertically. The door will then reach a pre-determined point at which it will not lift anymore. At this point you will be able to get in and out of the vehicle. In normal case the bottom back portion of the door will be higher than the roof of the vehicle.

What is the normal installation process?

Basic installation:

1) Disconnect the battery.

2) Remove fender

3) Make sure to remove door catch if equipped.

4) Usually you will need to more wire slack: Usually you will need to remove the door panel or kick plate. Do not cut your factory wires unless you have no other choice.

Use 2” painters tape to mark the factory door location on the vertical and horizontal planes. Also measure the distance between the apron and front edge of the door by the top and bottom hinge.

5) Close the door and use 2" painters tape to secure the door to the body of the car.

6) Install new Lambo Door kit, make sure you have a flat surface if not you may need to modify your apron.

7) Make fine tuning adjustments and make sure all pivot points are greased. Installed the shock.

***DO NOT USE ANY TYPE OF TOOLS ON THE BODY OR SHAFT OF THE SHOCK***

Note: Do not install fender until the adjustment of the door is accurate. Also make sure everything is tight, adjustment is set and everything is Locktite.

8) Modify factory wire loom: In order to be able to open and raise the door, cut the factory wire boot in half and add wire loom to protect exposed wires.

9) Cut the inner lip of your fender to make room for the new Lambo Door kit. Note: Cut only enough for the swing arm to move freely, after you have cut the fender use a sander or grinder and make sure the surface is completely smooth. Use touch up paint to protect the expose material and to give it a finish look.

Close the door and reinstall the Fender.

The shock have 450Lbs - 800Lbs of Pressure per Square inch. They will not compress untill you install the hinge on the car and the shocks on the hinge, the weight of the door will compress the shocks. Each shock is pressurized to support the stock weight of that particular vehicle.

What kind of maintenance is required on these kits?

We recommend using a high quality automotive or marine

grease designed to be injected using a grease gun. Lucas Heavy Duty Grease or

Green Grease are both good options. It should be injected into the Zerk

fittings on the hinge. There are 3 on the pivot assembly and 1 on the shock

end. You should add grease to these fittings once every 1-2 years. It may be

necessary to lubricate the hinge more often depending on your location and how

much time the car spends outside. If you cannot get in there to add grease to

the Zerk fittings you should use WD-40 or a similar spray lubricant to

thoroughly coat the part of the hinge where it pivots and rotates.

Additionally, you should maintenance (lubricate) the shock bearing every 3-6

months or as needed. If you follow the shock down to its lower mounting point,

you will notice a spherical bearing which the shock end fitting slips into.

Spray around this fitting with WD-40 or a similar spray lubricant to clean and

lubricate the shock bearing. After you operate the door multiple times you can

go back in and then spray it with White lithium Grease which will lubricate for

longer without drying up but we recommend starting with the WD-40 because it

will clean any dirt or debris that may have gotten into the bearing.
