Lightweight flywheel balancer

I know that a lightweight flywheel requires a rear counter-balance, but does the front balancer need to be changed as well?

damn... that's what I thought. I just got a used one off partstrader and put it on and it's vibrating too much... he must have had wrong info about the year it was for... or wrong rear counter weight.
Thanks
