If you have the stock strut plate, then all will be good.

hey thanks for the response....i dont quite understand though i have everything stock so the bolt doesnt needs to be held underneath with a wrench while i tighten the nut on top does it ? does this stock strut plate hold those bolts through the holes as i take the nuts off ...im worried that the botl will fall to the ground or in my car somewhere if i take the nut off

You needn't worry. The bolts are welded to the stock plate and will not move. Just loosen off the nuts, drop on the SRP's and torque them back down.
