What can i expect to pay for suicide door hinges and bear claw latches. Ive looked at different places and the kits go from $200-$400 and they look very similar. If you could suggest a place to get them from that would be great!!!

Thats where i was looking to get mine but wasn't sure if it was a bad hinge kit or not. Would you suggest getting it from there??

I just bought the ones from twisted minis for a great price and at the show on the weekend I bought a kit that is from auto loc and that kit is killer.I would look into the kit from auto lock I can't say what they go for down there but I bought this one for $200,00 brand new in the box and I also got a shave door kit with the adjustable door poppers and 8 channel system for another $150.00 with the S-10 steel plates to shave your doors locks and tail gate. I didn't even know they were in there until I opened the box up I think they screwed up and forgot it was in there.

i don't know if those are great hinges or not, but u usually get what you pay for. i wouldn't skimp on door hinges that might sag over time. saggy doors are worse than your grama's saggy titties.

Hmmm, like speedster said you get what you pay for. I have not seen many mazdas done right. In the interest of safety I will tell you that most of the time hot rodder sites are the way to go for buying suicide door hinges. Or you could go to suicidedoors.com the thorbecke brothers have always made great products and are minitruckers themselves. Hopefully either you or the person that is installing them knows what they are doing. Things can get pretty messy. The way I have mine done is kind of like a 2pt roll cage behind the door with a metal plate welded to it to mount the hinge. Some guys will tell you that this is over kill. Some guys also buy lambo door kits ... enough said about that topic. Here is what I do know. I if I wanted to can hang on the door, then hop in and close it. It clunks shut just like a regular door. If you don't know what you are doing with the doors it may be best to enlist the help of someone who does. Learn from it and do them yourself the next time. I would post pictures if I could but I am a few thousand miles away from my truck right now. Think structural intergity though. If the doors were made to hang there they would come that way factory. So you really need to do some serious reinforcing.
