Default Flywheel balancing?

I've tried to search around on the threads to see if it is worth balancing the fkywheel and the pressure plate or not? After I bought my clutch, I started hitting the threads a little heavy for suggestions. I made my decision and purchased the clutch and new billet steel flywheel. I will not mention the name because I want this to be about my original balncing question, not a flaming thread I bought the wrong set-up. Thanks for your helps guy and I trust that this will be an easy going conversation.

time and money permitting I'd do it just to prevent any further problems and to aid reliability.

I didn't do it and I will probably have to pull it apart and have it done.

Did you pick up a vibration after clutch installation? Did you install a flywheel too? What brand?

I did pick up a vibration. I used a fidanza aluminum f/w and Ram disc/P/P. If you look carefully, which I didn't, the fidanza info says the f/w is not balanced and you should get your assembly checked. Ram has flywheels that are balanced and have the surface properly ground to just install it & go. I'm now thinking about just buying one and putting it in. I haven't had any luck finding anyone around here to balance a flywheel.

I just dropped mine off early this afternoon and it already done. Have to pick it up tomorrow, cost me $40. I'm looking at it as cheap insurance. I will find out tomorrow how far off it was.
