I'd wait for Verus to come back to you before stressing too much.

Ok, story time! I bought a 2nd hand CF Driveshaft Shop one and had vibrations from the start. I ended up taking it to be balanced, which was difficult as here in Aus no one I spoke to had balanced a Cf driveshaft before. The first place just shimmed the unis which helped a little but I still had vibrations. The next place I found did a much better job but they weren't sure on how to attach the balance weights. They ended up just taping them on the shaft, leaving it to me to attach them permanently. I was ok with this as they didn't even charge me, in fact they nerded out quite a bit about the CF. I contacted Loctite about gluing steel to CF, bought the product, borrowed an applicator from work and here I am 3 years later with a light ass drive shaft that is as smooth as silk at any speed that I have been brave enough to drive at.
