Default 92 civic w/ABS - Grinding noise but discs are good

I keep hearing this grinding noise when I use my brakes (forward only, not in reverse). I've checked the pads and they are plenty thick, there are no marks on the discs and it continues after I start going again for about 20-30 feet. I'm thinking something with the ABS system? Could the E-Brake be dragging? I'm not sure if the E-brake is on the drivetrain or if it locks up the calipers. Sometimes it sounds like it comes from the front, sometimes the back. It's -2 degrees outside, so I'm not about to roll around with my head out the window. Any ideas?

Default Re: 92 civic w/ABS - Grinding noise but discs are good (asdewq)

I stuck my head outside. It was very cold. Now I've tracked down what's going on. On my passenger side front rotor, there are grind marks . The other three corners are good. I believe that caliper is screwed because it continues to drag after I start moving again. Since I'll be needing rotors, calipers & pads (I can't get into a heated garage until this weekend and have to drive the car until then) I was wondering if there was an easy upgrade available and what I would need for it. It is a 92 Sedan EX w/ABS. I believe it's a 10.3" rotor stock.
