Pad angle will definitely cause that issue. I've had that happen with and
without accompanying squawking. The Kool Stops also tend to bite a newer rim
a lot better than most pads. New pads + New rims = shudder, IME.

I've never been able to run the KS pads flush. Always put a touch o' toe-in
on them.

I'd also just double-check that the housing endcap is not moving in the
hanger, and that there's no gap when the housing runs into the brake lever
itself.
