Shaved door quick question!

Hey all. Im done shaving my door handles and I was wondering if anyone knew the correct popper strenght to pop our big doors??

I mean, I see 15, 20, 25, to 45lbs kits. What is the right one for us? I dont want my door flying on another car or just hitting me on the "you know what"

Thanks!

I dunno if this help you much, but the doors weigh about 100 pounds apiece. If your hinges and bushings are in good shape, it doesn't take much effort to open them though.

I know flyinlow92RS (sp) has shaved handles, maybe PM him and ask him what he uses.

Its not that much work to replace the hinges though. So it might be worth while to do that as well.

While I like the smooth, uninterupted look of shaved handles you can't race at the dragway with them. Safety Hazzard. So I'll never shave the handles on my car.
