NEED HELP....just installed C32 AMG brake kit
I am experiencing a bit of shaking at the steering wheel and petals. Before and after my brakes were installed, I experienced a bit of shaking at 80 mph.....Now that I just added spacers on there, Its shaking at 60 MPH..... WTF..... I do not know what to do.....

Out Of Control!!
I'd first make sure that nothing's loose, then take it to a tire place that I trusted, to make sure that the wheels are weighted properly - sounds to me that the spacers are exaggerating a condition that already existed.
After that, next up would be the alignment, then the suspension parts, then the driver. But I'm guessing that the wheels are off-balance right now; one of mine was, for some reason, several months ago; shop trued them up, and no more vibrations. Good luck.

having spacers in the front especially is not a very good idea. If you must maybe 3-5mm ones and only if you MUST for clearance sake. i would check for wheel balance though and maybe alignment. i just got mine and havent noticed anything diff other than better braking (feel more solid)

Got a lot of miles on the tires? Maybe it's time for a new set? You did say you were having problems before the brake change...right?
