Default Camber bracket question

So I jacked up my car to tear it apart tomorrow for the smart strut kit install. I notice the top bolts for the camber bracket won't come out because of the spring. Don't feel like dropping my exhaust and pulling the spring to remove two bolts and can't see any reason why cutting the top bolts off and installing them backwards is a bad idea.

I just like a second opinion before I do stuff sometimes

edit: Just noticed they gave me a c3 directions LOL

I'd just make sure I used correct spec Metric hardware. There's been a few comments recently regarding the quality of the VBP SS bushing material used.

Yah I read bout their issues after I got my longer bolts with polys and the spring cups are cutting into them kinda. I have rod ends for my c3 dragvette kit so I got them on the C4 VBP kit, I do like how the vbp rod ends are grease-able.
