Default Anybody try the Motormite bolt on hinge yet?

Autozone sells these bolt on hinge replacement kits and I was wondering if anyone has used them yet. I found a body shop that reworked the hinge pin holes in my drivers door by welding the holes closed and re-drilling them to the proper size and shape (round!). So far it has worked great, but it still has the same bushings that always eventually fail. I'm going to keep them greased and keep an eye on them, but maybe this kit is a good fix?

You would have to cut off the stock, welded on hinges off before you could bolt these on. Replacing the bushings BEFORE the pin starts to elongate the holes in the hinge is what really counts.
