The flywheel has an internal counterweight. You'll notice one side has a ridge that sticks out and doesn't go all the way around. The S4 rotors are a different weight from the S5 rotors so the counterweight is different.
When one buys an aftermarket flywheel it is not balanced at all. A auto transmission external counterweight is used along with an aftermarket flywheel.
I imagine it would be difficult if not impossible to rebalance a S5 to S4 flywheel (or visa versa). If you do it successfully let me know.
