Just wondering if all 996 C4's have his problem? It seems that with PSM off, wet or dry that if I get the tires to spin the rear of the car starts to hop. It's so bad that I have to lift off the gas

Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Turbos have the same problem. Its the stiff suspension and the fact that you have the engine weight over the rear wheels. The car has lot of grip. Don't let it hop, ease off the gas your not going to get anywhere any faster by having the rears wheels spin.

I wonder if it's the 4 wheel drive setup? Only other 4 wheel drive car that I had, did the same things was Mish 3000GT VR4.

Hopping can kill your half shafts (usually only in dry conditions though, when hopping with grip), so don't just drive through it, let off. Stiffer springs should actually aid in the reduction of hop in most applications... Compliance in the bushings, joints, and other suspension points often one of the causes for wheel hop. Also, worn tires might increase hop.
