When you installed the new pads, you forced the caliper piston back in to the cylinder. The shudder might have been caused by the piston not returning after you released the brakes. The piston, which is returned by an o-ring returning to it's correct shape, will hang when there is an accumulation of corrosion. The pads were lightly riding on the rotor, which caused the shudder.
If the car starts pulling in one direction - especially while braking - change the calipers. You can buy rebuilt calipers for less than twenty dollars - if you return the core. I wouldn't fool with a kit.
