You normally should change both bars, changing only one will make the car's handling change ... sometimes in dangerous ways.
If you put a stiffer bar on the FRONT - MORE UNDERSTEER
If you put a stiffer bar on the REAR - MORE OVERSTEER
Unless you have some understanding of suspension/chassis adjustments, I'd STRONGLY recommend you change the front and rear bars as a "set" that are already tuned by GM or a 3rd party performance company for the C5 suspension/chassis.

Gene at GMpartshouse.com also has new C5Z06 bars, front and rear, and aluminum endlinks for under $240. That's what I put on mine... amazing difference in cornering over the base FE1 suspension.
