This problem ended up fixing itself. Shortly after the install, the noise stopped. The pads ended up seating in the calipers in the correct position.
I'm loving this mod - the brakes continue to have incredible stopping power.

Have you done the rear discs yet? I am still with drums. I have bought all the parts needed to convert the rear to dics, im just waiting for a day when i feel like dealing with all the rusty bolts to do it. I'm just wondering how big of a B**** it really is.

As long as you've got a good impact wrench it's pretty easy, if you've got any mechanical skills.

I highly recommend this swap. I was planning on going 5lug, but since I just bought tires 3 months ago, I thought it would be quite a waste.
Needless to say, I know the v6 has 15" on the sedan, so it does clear. The one thing that always had me nervous is that the v6 is still a wider rim than the i4 wheels. Needless to say, it does the clear the 4cyl wheel.
Havent done a full bleed (i used the 1 man bleeder system and dont trust it enough), but just that i feel a greater stopping power. It's just not as responsive/touchy as I thought. But once its on, she's stopping quick.
My parts list:
96 Prelude VTEC Centric Front Rotors
02 Accord Centric Rear Rotors
02 Accord V6 Front Calipers
Stock 02 Accord Rear Calipers
Posi Quiet Ceramic (Centric) for matching calipers all around.
