Too much counter to my weight?

So I'm putting a t2 tranny on my 6port turbo and now I've came to the conclusion I need the t2 flywheel and clutch combo, do I also need both front and back counter weights?

You can't run the stock t2 flywheel because it has the counterweight built in for s2 rotors. you need the counterweight from your engine, auto tranny, and an upgraded lightened flywheel. You will only need the rear counterweight.
you wont regret spending the money on a lightened flywheel

This is wrong.

T2 and NA counterweights are the same. you just need the correct series flywheel, so if you have an S4, you need an S4TII flywheel.

or just get an automatic counterwieght (from the like Series) and run an aftermarket flywheel.

yes, you can run a S4 stock T2 flywheel on a S4 n/a engine. stick within the series and you are fine.

oh, sorry for the bad info.
I always thought the counter weight had to do with the weight of the rotors. now I know.

it does, the NA and TII rotors for all intents and purposes weigh the same for the series. as do S5 and FD rotors.

Thanks for clearing that up, I'm such a newb. I've seen the rotor weight and compression comparison chart on mazdatrix but never paid enough attention to notice the weight similarities. I assumed every compression difference were different weights. I see now it's probably the process in making the rotors
