no. You want a stiffer bar in the rear to decrease understeer.

Stay away from lightweight flywheels unless you plan to have the crank/flywheel balanced. The 986 does not have a harmonic balancer. Crank balance is achieved with the dual mass flywheel, so installing a lightweight flywheel could result in vibrations and even broken crankshafts.
No. The DMF doesn't balance anything. It simply absorbs some vibrations and lessens the shock to both the engine and transmission.
