Default Loud noise coming from front right wheel. Kinda long please help.

Ok so I finished replacing control arms, installing cv boots, and installing coilovers.

My car was fine for the first 5 miles of my test drive then I heard a light metal on metal noise. I turned around and drove the 5 miles back it seemed to go away after coming to a stop but a few hundred feet later it would come back. I figure something was rubbing so I raised the coilovers a bit to 25.5.

2nd test drive it was great again until about 2 miles in i got on the brakes and got a really really loud awful noise until I came to a full stop (sound continued when I got on and off the brakes as i kept rolling. Once I started rolling again I was back with the original light metal on metal noise. Got the really loud siren noise upon braking when getting back onto my street. What gets me is that one this horrible loud noise starts with the brakes but doesnt go away when I get off them, it only stops when I come to a full stop.

Going to let it cool and take a look after I eat some pizza.

Any ideas?
