Longitudinal rocking during corner exit

Longitudinal rocking during corner exit
I'm curious to see if anyone else finds this behavior in their 997.2:
My '11 Turbo S Cab has since day 1 had a strange fore-aft rocking while on the gas coming out of a corner at 'spirited' street speeds. The classic spot is a 45mph right-hander; the car is stable trail braking into the corner, but gets unsettled and rocks or crabs as soon as I am neutral on the throttle and stays that way all the way out. My '07 997.1 turbo had no such behavior, just the usual 911 bouncy front end
It feels for all the world as though the computer is repeatedly feeding power to the front end, then removing it, causing the car to alternate between neutral and understeer. This happens well below the limit of traction however.
Other similar observations? Any fixes?

I did front and rear swaybars, front and rear droplinks, h&r springs, and rear toe links with a custom alignment. This fixed the problem completely.
The swaybars and droplinks are the best things to change for suspension.
