Default Need Help Just lowered front end problems. grind

Hi i am new to this site but i seek some good advice i just lowered my honda with coilovers all around and a front and rear camber kit. the coilovers are bottomed out all around but i had to raise the front slightly so that the tires wouldn't rub but now i have a grinding problem that seems to come in at around 10mph that i need to get firxed its in the front of the car and its nothing rubbing. when i turn the wheels one way or another it seems to get louder on that side so im thinking its something in the wheel bearings but they weren't bad before i had lowered it so my guess is that something is in a bind and maybe i need to keep raising the car until it won't make that noise anymore..anything helps thanks

is it by chance a break pad dragging or a rock in the pad? Your half shaft/axle isn't draging on anything is it? A grind noise like that may be a wheel bearing or a brake pad.... jack the car up, put it in neutral and rotate the tire by hand, see if you can pinpoint the noise.

ok but here is my reasoning for it not being a wheel bearing or anything in the brake pad because i did all the work in the shop set the car down and took it for a drive and right away the noise was there.

the closest sound i can relate it too is like when a big truck has mudders on it and it goes down the road with the loud tire noise but it seems to come from under the hood somewhere

i had the exact same problem, i described it the exact same way you did with the mudder tires thing, my problem was mydrivers side wheel bearing, maybe it was gonna go out anyways and just happened to go out right when you lowered it? easy fix though, autozone has them for 30.99 a piece, so it's not a huge problem.
