Make sure that your rear brakes are working or adjusted properly so the front brakes aren't doing all the work.
Best way to check for a bad caliper is after a few miles down the road or anytime you stop is to place your hand near the center of each wheel. If one is significantly hotter you know there is a problem.
On a couple occasions I discovered the caliper slide pins had no lubrication. One was on a set of rebuilds that I had just purchased.
I always get the organic pads, non metallic as possible so I don't wear down the rotors.
