You may want to consider a damper pulley like one of these guys.
I am not sure if they make them for Evo's though.

ivan they do make them i think they go for around 300 and i do plan on getting one in the near future. from everything i can find on removing balance shafts the is some additional "vibration" but nothing crazy and nothing that will cause premature wear. and only some people report that, and its not a noticeable vibration unless your looking for it. i do have extra stiff avid motor mounts so i will post up on my opinions on the removal. but so fa rthis job is nothing compared to a clutch job lol.

I picked up a Fluidampr when I built the motor and you can not even notice the vibrations. This was with a fully balanced and blueprinted rotating assembly though. I have yet to feel a 4 cylinder car that was bearable with the balance shaft removed on non-balanced internals. The stock stuff will be pretty close, but the gains you see will be minimal. Why not just leave it and wait until you build the motor?

im not doing it for the power gains although they are a nice perk. im doing it for the added security of not having the second belt in there.if the balance belt goes it can take out the timing belt along with my motor. just cheap insurance. my car is down anyways so nows thee time to do it.
