4th Generation Unknown noise after suspension install

After FINALLY getting thru all the problems i've had with installing the k-sport coilovers, I now have an unknown noise coming from my front driverside wheel . THis is how it happened, After having to drill out the lug stud because of 2 broken lugnuts(I'll post the name of this crappy company later), i had to open up the drum to install the new lug stud but before that I had to loosen up the gear so the pads would release and beat the hell out of the drum to get it off. Now after all this I finally finish everything and when i went to go for a test drive my ABS light is lit up on the dash, e-brake is looser then normal, and theres a grinding sound coming from the front driverside wheel. What is going on ......Please help everyone.

p.s. I'll post pics tomarrow, looks so good slammed to the ground

Sounds like a broken ABS sensor perhaps. I posted not long ago with my ABS sensor failing. Other members replied and said they had the same problem upon installing new suspension. Just yesterday i got the sensors tested and it was the rear driver sensor, just like all the other people who had broken sensors. Im thinking that sensor is just not a good one to begin with.

But all that scraping up front isnt good and you shouldnt keep driving it like that until you get it checked out.

Also remove your rear wheel and check out the drum.

With your ABS light on be careful, you no longer have ABS, so you brakes will lock in the case of hard braking, so remember to pump your brakes if you wanna still steer.

the rubbing sounds like metal rubbing against each other. What is wierd about this is i havent had this problem before when just the front suspension was installed. I took it down the street and didnt have any noise problems. As far as the suspenion goes it seems to be good but i havent really tested it out yet cause the noise.
