I'm doing almost the same thing, fd rotors(matched),flywheel and counterweight, but with an RX8 e-shaft, my builder said a balance was unnecessary for the street.

But, I haven't run it yet.

its not needed. i did have the P port balanced, and it IS noticeably smoother even in the sub 7000rpm range. i started with NEW rotors, eshaft, even the rear CW.

so balancing is not needed, provided you're running matching parts (all S5, or all S4), but its nice
