Has anyone purchased new aftermarket hood hinges that use a strut-style design like these? https://www.ebay.com/itm/EMS-STRUT-M...P/332724816739

I was curious if these help at all with hood alignment and gap issues, particularly fitment at the rear of the hood? Mine sticks up too far at the rear. I know I can improve it by working on it a bit more, but curious if these make adjusting and fit a lot easier, worse, or the same.
