Just a thought... you or someone previous may have reinstalled the shoes wrong. Brendan, check to confirm that the leading and trailing shoes are reversed from each other. That is to say the leading shoe (towards the front of the car) should have the half circle hole (with the square notch cutout on the curved side of the half circle hole) at the top of the shoe. The trailing shoe should be installed with this hole on the bottom (ie. reversed from each other). It is through this hole the cross lever protrudes and is held by the drop hook end of the lower spring. Radius grinding the shoes to match the radius of the worn drum(s) will help and will improve the effectiveness of your stopping. This can be done at any good brake shop.
