Let me say this nice, THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A "KIT" TO DO SUICIDE DOORS. At least not a "generic" kit. There are a few people out there that "may" have a kit for a specific model, but I have never seen one.

There are people who sell hinges and some lame "instructions" but there are NO kits as any normal person would refer to a "Kit".

This is an EXTREMELY complex modification. It consists of MUCH more than simply mounting some hinges on the other end of the door. You need a good understanding of geomotry and basic engineering to pull it off. I have seen MANY, MANY of these so called "kits" used to RUIN cars. Think long and hard about this one.

The time spent on a modification that is only seen for a few seconds while the door is opened makes no sense to me. If you were to spend the time on detailing, that would be good time spent.
