I don't remember specifically since it was 7 years ago, but I believe the H&R bolts had different size cams and sleeves depending on the application. And I don't remember if the front bolts fit in the rear struts, but then again I don't know why I would have tried putting front bolts in the rear anyway.

As far as "ignoring slop"... I'm not sure what you're talking about... even if the cam has room to play in the knuckle, the adjustment is made with a gauge on the wheel, so you can get it close by yanking on the wheel then just use the bolt to push the alignment to the correct exact angle, then tighten the bolt. The angle of the wheel is held by the clamping force of the strut on the knuckle, not by the cam in the bolt.

Theoretically, you could just use a skinny bolt, but then you couldn't use the cam as leverage for adjustment. Hell, some struts just have slots in them making fine adjustment a PITA and camber bolts completely useless, but you would use the top mounts on those struts for fine adjustment anyway.
