I am replacing my clutch for good measures and I just had my flywheel resurfaced. Do I need to have the clutch pressure plate and flywheel balanced as well even if the clutch kit is brand new? Thanks.

You don't need to, but its good practice.

I never have, and have not come into issue. I would assume that balancing is part of any reputable manufacturing process.

Resurfacing the flywheel is the most important part to have done. You did that activity and if you have a quality pressure plate, clutch disc and throw-out bearing it is all you need to perform reassembly-no balancing necessary for street/autocross use.

Its more important to replace the pilot bushing and rear main seal……..the two main failure points.

Thanks for the input boys. And yes I am freshening up all the gaskets and seals. I will look into that pilot bushing Rogue thank you Sire.
