Since sway bars only couple when the body rolls and hydroplanning is a going straight condition.........the bars are effectively invisible at a steady speed or going straight.
Don't confuse complex lateral stickson when rear is sliding sideways [fishtailing] with hydroplanning.
Optimizing the dampening of shocks with springs and tire springs is the critical factor with fishtailing.............
Many forget shocks are matched to springs and don't consider additional shock stiffness when roll stiffness is increased with bars........only applicable in a serious road course with continuous L-R -L turns everywhere.........when head continuously bangs back and forth in helmet...........extra shocks for bars that only work in turns not straight ahead.

adding braces may change the balance of the car but that's because they remove compliance from that end (front or rear) of the car.
think of it along the lines of having really worn out suspension bushings... you can't perform an accurate alignment if your lower control arm has a lot of play in it. the error in the system is greater than the thing you're trying to adjust.
