Default grinding/scraping noise when braking

i have a 95 civic coupe ex, 15x7 rims with +42 offset, 205/50/15 tires, tokiko blue shocks and eibach sportline springs.

i only hear this intermittent grinding/scraping noise when i am coming to a complete stop while braking. it goes something like this “…..grind/scape…..grind/scrape…..grind/scrape…..”. it seems to be coming from the front drivers side. ive replaced my rotor, brake pad, wheel bearing and brake shield all within the last 4 months or so. im not lowered that much, only about 1.6" all around.

any ideas?

Sounds like the wheel could be rubbing against the fender wall. Take a look at it. I had a car do that before after lowering it (also was in an accident)
