Yea I agree with Dmaffo, be careful with wheel hop, it can hurt your pocket...ask me how i know.Its most likely the tires with a combination of running a 19" and I don't care what anyone says 44 PSI is too much.

What would you recommend for rear tire pressure?

Hi Steve, All the time we spent on adjusting the rear upper control arms and shock valve setting is what stops the wheel hop. Tire psi, inner rim bend, helper springs, no sidewalls or to stiff. I can go on but I have spent a lot of time trying to get the 996 platform to hook up. I have found that the 44psi keeps the sidewall from flexing (stops the sway) in the turns remember the motor is in the back.

I run Bilstein Sport Shock , with HR Lowering springs, I also went with GMG GT sway bars. The front sits a little high for my liking I think I am going to go with some coil overs.I also run a 19" for my street driving and some BBS LM for my track days.
