None. One of the last things you should fit to a hydro car.

Try just fitting the competition bump stop kit to the rear.

You do not want a rear anti-roll bar on a road car. It promotes oversteer and could be dangerous on public roads.
For a race car, the idea is that you can brake late into a corner and the anti-roll bar promotes oversteer which is balanced by application of power, with the result that the car will have power-on earlier in the corner and thus have a higher exit speed. The problem comes if you have to lift off mid-way through the corner at which point it becomes 'interesting' and 'rotational'.

Thanks for all the input. I would agree that oversteer can be “interesting” having owned a 930 and learning a quick lesson on not lifting off in a corner.
