Help with loud CREAKING noise.

This noise is really starting to bother me now. It just started like 2 days ago and is getting worse. It is a loud creaking type noise from the front of the car when i am lightly applying the brakes between 5mph and a stop. its only when i have a VERY light pressure on the pedal, and more pressure and it goes away. no noise at all when not on the brakes. any idea what it could be i checked the cv boots, and both are looking perfect, so i dont think thats it. any ideas? btw, i am lowered on tein stech with stock struts and cut bumpstops.
