solenoid size for shaved door handles

i want to shave the door handles on my fiance's 91 RS and i need to know what size solenoids to get. the VPA kit in Summit has 15 lbers and the autoloc kit can be had with 35s. the autoloc kit is almost 2x as much, though. do i really need 35 ib solenoids? i want to do this to my s10, too, but i think 15 lbers would be fine for that. any experience you guys can share would be great.

I went with 50#'ers but the lady that I talked to looked something up and told me that the 35#'ers would do it. I just wanted to be sure... Better to do it right the first time.
