To get the full effect of your suspension then yes it is recomended to change both at the same time. What do you plan on doing with the car?

To answer the question, no it is not "absolutley necasary".
Actually alot say the front is enough for street cars.
I only have the front. If I were I do the back, doubt it,
I'd stay on the small size like a 1LE.

I put the Spohn 22mm Solid 4140 Rear Sway Bar in my car, and the difference was so noticeable that I ordered the front swaybar the next day. I don't do any racing, but just driving down the road there was a huge difference. Not to mention it got rid of my annyoing squeaking.

I'll let you know once I get the front bar in.
