If the test was done correctly, those numbers are quite low. Mazda minimum spec for a decent engine is 85psi, as you can see you are below that by quite a bit, it appears 75psi and lower all around.

Shaking like how.....like when it's idling or when it driving down the road in the rpm's?

Who built the motor? Did they use the properly weight matched rotors? Are your motor mounts any good?

I'd say you've got 1-6 months.
