Default Balancing a fly wheel

I have read in instructions for the M6 swap from an A4 that you need to balance the flywheel. Do I need to do this or do I get a zero balanced ram flywheel?

you can take your clutch/flywheel to the machine shop and have it balanced.

In my experience, any clutch flywheel setup you should always get them balanced, the LS7 is for sale all over ebay, and one of the vendors has in big bold print, that they highly advise on getting that clutch balanced before install. I just took my clutch setup out, and got it balanced, 100 percent improvement, smooth engagement, no problems. Get it done its well worth the 40.00 bucks.

Always, always, always have the clutch clutch balanced before installation. If you don't the vibration gremlins will haunt your ride.
