Jack your front Wheel in the air . Then put your car in neutral and try to spin the Wheel. The wheel should spin freely. Brake and the Wheel will instantly stop. Release the brake and the Wheel should spin freely again. If you feel too much resistance your pads probably stick.
Did you remove all dirt and rust before installing the new pads? And did you put copper grease in the guides where the pads go?
Some sets also have these replacement metal guides. Change the old ones for new ones and make sure they are installed properly.
Another thing you might want to check is your brake caliper. It is possible that some dirt and rust got in there behind the rubber if it is torn somewhere. This dirt gets in the way of the brake caliper trying to retract. As you just installed new pads the calliper is retracted almost all the way, leaving less room for it to retract some more with possible dirt in the way.
So check for torn rubbers.
