I've used stainless nuts and bolts with big stainless washers on this part of my system for around 10 years on both impreza's - you will be fine as long as you don't clamp the spring right down.

+1 for the above no need to panic,a normal bolt with some trilok nuts & your spring will do just fine . If you feel you want the genuine items then here you go:
