Default sticking front brakes

i just got done lowering my car and now my front brakes wont disengage. i did nothing to them, i didnt disconect them or anything. i did have to unscrew them from the front shocks but there is not line damage or kinks. i tried to bleed them and that didnt work. they squeel like no other going forward but not backward. any advice on what to do next is much appreciated

Step back take a deep breath and look over what you did. It must be something simple.

Good Luck.
