Should I order the oversized bushings or the standard sized bushings to re-pin my door hinges?

I've found that grabbing a set of used hinges from a 4-door car (i.e. Bonneville, Regal, Cutlass, Malibu, etc.) is a quick and dirty way to get a good set. They haven't been abused by swinging a long door on them for years. Just paint as needed, lube 'em up, and you're good to go. No modifications necessary.

how much damage has been dun to the hinge is the ?? i know napa includes over
size bushings ,stock and pins . the hardest thing is when the hole gets egg shaped and you must center the hole correctly with a drill or a small dremil/rasp
bit hope this helps :yesnod:
