Odd Brake Noise/Feel after rotor install?

^^^ Yep, FC. A 1989 GXL to be exact (I post in the correct sections

) so it's got the front 4-pots and the vented rears. Regarding torching them it didn't really matter to me because I was ditching the rotors anyway. Is there an easy way to check for sticky calipers? I imagine I can just remove the pads and have someone pump the brakes while I watch the pistons move?

The problem I have is I'm deaf in one ear so I can't hear direction so I have no idea where the sound comes from. To me, it seems like it's coming from the rear, but you never know, LOL.
