Default found my brake issue/ piston bolt Q

well 6-7 months ago I came on here complaining about a rear driverside new disc brake grinding the caliber....

replaced everything have a whole new rear brake assembly 175 bucks... 4 washers relocating the brake position was what fixed it....99 cent
all from a guy forgetting to brake at a stop sign AFTER STOPING ON A HILL! and taping my wheel as I was turning in to a subdivision.

just had my 4.10's thrown in shop calls says I need whole new trak loc my gear teeth look more like triangles not the large almost rounded groves they should be. and one gear was completely free moving in a half inch area.

now I gotta take those freaking washers off cause it's rebuilt normal and grinding the other side of my brakes.

PISTON Q...
my shop that's I found that wouldn't mind me working there my self and just using some of there tools said the piston head bolts that come with the MMR 900hp kit are rated at 1000hp but my shop says they have seen them fail at just 600hp and I should upgrade to the arp2000 bolts... 150 more bucks I realy can't afford any un-needed spending is this really something I should do?
