help! pedal shimmers under braking
i scored a set of aluminum drums off an 86 camaro at the jy today. i have a 92 RS w/ the 16'' z28 wheels stock.
after i put the aluminum ones on in place of the cast iron ones and removed the little thin spacer, the pedal would shimmer like crazy whenever i braked the rears to maximum without activating the fronts. I could literally feel my foot vibrate pretty violently.
so, i tried putting the spacers on and they still did the exact same thing pretty much, maybe not as violently.
then i tried a burnout to see if it was just old brake dust on the outer drums but smoke started coming from the left side and since i have an open diff it must have been the brakes. (I couldn't see/hear the right side).
so what could it be? thanks in advance.

is there a minimum thickness like rotors for these things?
if its not that, do you know what else it could be?
thanks!
