Are try the same for front and rear?

That kit I linked includes the two camber bolts and the two nuts, enough for the rear.
The front has OEM camber bolts in the top holes and you should not replace them. They will not yield as much camber adjustment as the aftermarket bolts, but it's simply not safe to use the aftermarket camber bolts to replace the OEM camber bolts, IMHO. However, I do use the same camber bolt kit that I linked in the front and rear of my car.
In the rear, you replace the OEM straight bolt on top with the aftermarket one. In the front, you can do what I've done and replace the lower straight bolt with the aftermaket one. Instruct your alignment guy to do max neg. or max pos. camber (mine's max neg. camber) on the lower aftermarket bolts and then use the top bolts to fine tune the camber.
Some say that using the aftermarket camber bolt in the bottom is not smart as it's likely to slip and screw up your camber settings, but by setting it to max pos. or max neg. camber, the thought is that it's not likely to slip. And in my experience with probably close to 5 alignments with this setup, it has worked flawlessly.
Why are aftermarket bolts more likely to slip than OEM bolts? They're thinner and therefor cannot support the torque that OEM bolts can. IIRC, OEM bolts get 120# and the aftermarket ones can only take up to 80#.
