I've never experienced this.
There are several ways to troubleshoot this but they all involve going back to what worked and then replacing one component at a time.
This can be tough or impossible if the original rotors were unuseable and the original pads were also unuseable.
An alternative would be to put the car front end on jackstands (underneath the lower a-arms) and with the wheels off and car in drive, try the brakes.
About the only thing I can think of that causes 'popping' would be a loose wheel/broken lug stud that allows the wheel to shift on the hubcentric lip. Is the popping noise at wheel frequency, i.e., approximately the frequency you would expect from a stone caught in the tread and hitting the ground every revolution?
Alternatively, perhaps you're hearing a 'crunkle' from the CV joints although they would have to be severely damaged to make noise straight ahead.
