Default Shaking while driving

Hello all this is my first audi I have owned. It is a 2005.5 Audi A4 Quattro 2.0T 6 Speed Manual which I believe is the B7 body style with the little research I have done. Lowered with Bilstein shocks. My problem is that there is quite a bit of vibration while I am driving. So I thought no big deal just needs tires re-balanced and an alignment done. I went last weekend to have those done and they re-balanced the tires, but told me I needed to have a wheel bearing fixed before they would do an alignment. I got the wheel bearing fixed and took it in today to have the alignment done. Driving home was almost worse than before. Speeds from 0-40 seem to be fine, but once I get above that it just shakes quite a bit. Especially when its at exactly 60 it is bad. The steering wheel just shakes and I can feel it in the seats. I tried going through some posts and some have suggested bad motor mounts, axles or the clutch. If it helps while driving if I push in the clutch and let it coast it still shakes. It shakes while accelerating and decelerating. Any help would be awesome. Thanks

Tires? Tires can be balanced and still be out of round. If your tires are near their end, either by treadwear or age, might be best replace them.

That could be true, but the tires seem fairly new with plenty of treed left.
