front end noise.......need help diagnosing

where this noise originates. first off, installed H&R's and AGX's this weekend. all parts assembled were new (this includes all the internals) and the springs were spiral wrapped where it was deemed necessary at both ends of the springs. here's the problem: i have a noise emitting from the right front suspension/brake area. the noise occurs only under light braking at low speeds (i.e. <25mph). this noise was present before i installed the new springs/struts and is still there, although maybe not as bad. the rotors have been turned and there is no feedback thru the brake pedal when this noise occurs. i do not think it is the new suspension because the noise was present before and it is only on the right side as before. anybody have any thoughts on what may be the problem??????

Can you elaborate on the "noise"? Screeches? Clunks? Groans?

it is more of a rubbing type groan under light braking. i feel nothing on the brake pedal, but the noise sort of "pulses" under braking like the rotor was out of round.
