Default 96 civic dx disc brake conversion HELP!!!

I have a 96 civic dx coupe. I swapped my front and rear brake to gsr disc conversion. I changed the proportional valve and master cylinder from an 99-00 civic si. The problem is my front brake pads drags against the rotors causing my car not to move normal. I have to replace brake pads every 3-4 months. Someone please help my with this problem. Thanks

it's it both front calipers or just one?

you might have a caliper that's sticking.

Didn't he say that he replaced the calipers? Could it be that he isn't compressing the piston on the caliper far enough?
