    really the only thing that could make it grab is a sticking caliper.

    calipers are actually rebuilt, not new, so it is possible when it was rebuilt the piston wasn't inserted correctly.

    You also checked to make sure there's not air in the lines as well I assume....

    Also when the calipers and pads were installed, the slide points were lubricated with silicone grease, correct?
