I guess it depends how much stiffer you want to go relative to your current position. General theory is to do both the front and the back at once unless you want to bias your car towards either understeer or oversteer.

This chart might help you make your decision, or at least let you know the generalised effect of raising the rate.

Flawles,

There is, in fact, only one TRD stabiliser bar for your car.
Of the variables you have seen listed one is for MacPherson Strut, one is for Super Strut and one is for the rear.
Contact me with the details of your car & i'll supply the information to you.

cheers
