Sachs/Lemforder strut mounts NLA - what now?

Over the past month or so I've been collecting the parts I need to completely rebuild the front end of my 185k mile 9-5 Aero. The last pieces of the puzzle are the strut mounts and I've just not been able to find the OEM Sachs/Lemforder ones. I've ordered them twice from vendors who had them listed as in stock only to find out they are indefinitely back-ordered.
I just found out that I'm going to have this coming weekend free to be able to do this project. So now I have no strut mounts coming to me and I've already purchased the expensive $40 set of self-threading bolts. And it's too late to order the KYBs which are available from online vendors for around $50/each. My only option is to get some KYBs locally for $80/each.
How likely is it that I will need to replace my strut mounts? Do they fail often? Am I OK reusing them if they look fine? Are used OEM ones better than new aftermarket ones?
