 Hi there,
If you choose to stay with the OEM cast drums, I strongly recommend having them statically balanced. I only have experience with the rear drums, and I didn't initially think they were a problem. However, after balancing them, I was surprised by the amount of weight added and material removed to achieve a static balance. 
Best of luck,Harold

I would switch to front discs for safer stops—the stock early or late 3000 setup works great. If you must stick with front drums (the rears work well and needn’t be changed to discs as the front brakes do more of the work  anyway), consider switching to Alfin alloy drums, which being lighter, should address the shake you mention. They aren’t cheap, but neither is a swap to front discs. Good luck!
