I just finished lowering my car on Springs and after my first drive I could hear a squealing noise. It is very minimal below 20mph but by 40-45 its pretty loud. I got the car back on a jackstands to inspect things a little closer. The passenger side is rubbing on the brake rotor. I double checked the torque on the wheels to make sure something wasn't loose and everything was good. Happened to anyone else? Is their an easy way to push the brake pistons back away from the rotor?

You probably bent in the rotor shield on the backside of the rotor. Easy to do. Just push it back, problem will be solved (if that is the problem).

Very easily could be. I'll check that first thing!
