If you're looking for someone relatively close to you, there's Drive Line Service in Gardena (310) 515-2860 Don't have any experience with them, so I couldn't recommend one way or the other.
I have, however, heard that Red Bull's Differential Repair in South Gate does pretty good work. They do driveline work as well. (323) 707-3113
What car are you looking for the d/s for? Your '95?

Yes, it's for my 95 | thanks for the #'s.
From what I've read & heard the 1LE aluminum driveshaft is the same for third & fourth gen vehicles. 2.75'' diameter.
My other option is an LS1 alum ds. I'll give those shops a call now.

2.8... what/who/where is ACPT? Are they www.acpt.com ? that seems to be the only match and they manufacture
composite driveshafts ? sounds expensive!

now that i've taken a look at the LS1 vs 1LE driveshafts, i assume the vibration damper is the round disc on the front yoke? 
do you recommend changing ujoints and endcaps (in addition to balancing) before installing the driveshaft?
if i do that, will they still use the original yoke with damper (or no damper)?
thanks!

It's probably a bit too far for you, but WENCO in Van Nuys does good driveline work.
