Did they give back the factory bolts? If so, just put those back in, and put the aftermarkets in the rear. Either way, bolts are cheap, just get a second set...

You may be able to fudge a little by lossening both spindle - strut bolts and putting torque on the spindle while you re tighten them, but that won't be real exact.

Yes, there is probably a little play in the top mounts. same thing as the spindle... Losten, apply horzontal pressure, tighten.

Not sure anybody's bolts are better than anybody else's but you can use two in each bracket if needed.
