Default magic brake pulse wtf????

hello, i lowered my car (95 cx hatch) yesterday with some skunk2 springs and while at it i cleaned and adjusted my rear brakes. it seems like they have never been inspected since they been installed (unknown millage) now i have a sudden brake pulse at any speed when braking. i have always thought that brake pulse came from warped rotors on the front. so why would i get a sudden brake pulse i never touched the front brakes in anyway.

thanks Tom

You can get the pulsing from the rear too. If you only messed with the rears, I would turn the drums, and that will make it go away, you might need to replace the shoes as well, if turning only doesn't fix it.

it is possible for the drum shoes to have tiny cracks (brake cleaner reveals them) and that will cause a pulsation....i had that problem except mine locked up so i switched to rear disc.
