what is your pedal pressure like? With low pressure, it may not be retracting the pad back enough = breed the brakes.
Did you put these new pads in yourself and did you bleed the lines?
For a looser fitting pad (that floats better) try the Napa Ceramic $60 ones. These pads are very thick and you will definately need a clamp to push the brake piston in.
Take a good look at that right side and make sure those pads move freely. Clean all the crap off of it, they should slide.
Since you just bought the car is it under a warranty of any kind?
