Default Binding brakes.

Hi. I've replaced the standard setup on my MY03 WRX with EBC red stuff pads and turbo groove brake discs. I pulled the old stuff off took the cap off the master cylinder and pushed all 4 pistons back on both sides, all appeared to move smoothly enough. When I put the new ones on I greased the edges where they slide on the caliper body with copper slip and also the retaining bars (very little amounts on each). When I am driving I can hear the brakes binding slightly, its not pulling to one side at any time. I've done about 600 miles now so I know they will be worn in, I'm just a little worried about premature wear and over heating them. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
Andy.

BTW:-when I pushed the pistons back to accomodate the new pads/discs I had to remove some fluid from the reservior to bring it to just below the MAX fill line.
