Only worth it if you are building a built motor and plan on running high hp. For your average street car there is no point.

LOADS of people do it by the way.

I would personally order it from this site over slowboy.. Ive heard a lot of bad experiences with slowboy... Ive dealt with extreme with over $2000 in dsm parts and have been pleased with all of them.. http://www.extremepsi.com/store/customer/product.php?productid=17650&cat=865&page=1

You can put the balance shaft eliminator kit in without pulling the motor out.. It is easier with it out, but it can be done.. Just a lot more labor, and harder to get to.. I had a balance shaft belt break on my spyder and ended up getting stuck on the side of the road, so I personally recommend it if your rebuilding your motor.. But its not worth the extra work if thats the only thing your doing.
