Default Balancing Clutch + Flywheel

I reciently purchased a LS7 Clutch, PP, and LS2 Flywheel. I purchased this clutch package because it comes at an increadable deal. ($452 shipped)

I'm ready to install it tomorrow, how-ever, alot of people are telling me I should balance it.

I'm kinda hesitant to do so simply because this is NOT a race car, its my DD. And I've asked a couple of people about it that are not LS1 enthusiests, and they don't understand the point on a near stock car. Is the balance on OEM equipment really as bad as some people have made it seem?

I believe when you purchase a clutch assembly with a flywheel, they are balanced as an assembly.

My experience is that you should have it checked. I have a vibration that I didn't have before clutch swap and I think it's a balance problem. It's my car that I drive half of the time. It's A PITA to be running at 60 or 70 mph and have an annoyong little vibration from the drivetrain.
