Do some heavy breaking? I'd also check the pad's over, just incase there's something on them.

Are they binding? Are your disc's wet? Could be just surface rust.

Try a couple of emergency stops.
If this doesn't work, take both sides apart, cane everything with brake cleaner, and then re-assemble with copper slip or similar, on all the contact surfaces (not the friction surfaces though obviously).
That should do it.

Brake cleaner H. 
If they are sqeaking or screeching though, you'll need to coat the backs and metal edges (contact surfaces) of the pads and carriers with copper slip or a similar anti-sqeal compound.
That should do the trick.
