#2 what ferret says, have you removed the calipers for this job or just spread the pads to give some room to move?
If so i always rotate the calipers in the direction of brake force so they rest against the limit of movement and are supported against rotation just before i tighten the two bolts, that way they are always perfectly aligned every time and don't make any noise.
Here is a clip that may be useful if the forks are not settled correctly, you don't have a fork brace do you?

It seems if you want to check the springs to screw the preload adjusters on the top of the fork legs out and see if the force is different between the two, if a spring is broken one should be easyer to turn than the other and the "click" sounds different with them in the "out" position.
