hearing a squeel while driving

hey, just lowered my car yest...is a 96 civic coupe..i used tein basics, anyway..when i drive there is a squeel, is it possible that it is because i havn't doen the alignment yet? i have the camber kits on it already...but i ran out of time to do the alignment, it is coming from the front, and the front actually has negative camber i guess you would call it, where the tire is startiong to point in...later today im gonna try to jack it up and see if i can adjust it a little and see if that helps, any suggestions are great..thanks

did you bend your backing plate when installing your new suspension?
could be the plate rubbing against your rotor while it is spinning....

this is just a shot in the dark

if you want help your going to have to describe your problem better.

"when i drive there is a squeel" is a very poor description. A squeel can be caused by a belt, brakes, wheel bearing, tires, backing plate, etc
