E36 flex disk/driveshaft problems



After taking my car to the shop for suspension upgrades they told me the
flex disk was shot.  They had replaced the flex disk less than a year
ago (about 15,000 miles).  They replaced that today due to the shake
above 5k rpm.  After replacing the flex disk, there is still noticeable
shake according to the shop (have not driven since new flex disk) and
they say they don't know what it is yet and they will check it out
tomorrow.  The new flex disk eliminated most of the shake, but it is
still present.  Also they said they believe something to do with my
driveshaft is causing my flex disk to go bad.  Anyone have any ideas??
I only had the car 10 mins before I returned it to the shop today,  but
it looked sweet with the H&R race springs and bilsteins with the M
countours.  Also from what everyone said the ride would be harsh with
the race springs, and I find that not to be the case, I could barely
feel any difference going over bumps.  Also I installed a M3 exhaust,
much quieter than the stock exhaust on my 325is (which I think was
shot), and seemed to drive a bit nicer.
Thanks,
Chris Scott
