the squeek has died down the past couple of days, so now i get it sporadically... i dunno if this is good or bad because now i probably won't even be able to replicate it to the dealer

I think we have the same squeak!
Just that mine is constant and drives me insane!
The thing is, the day before I was about to tear into the hatch the noise stopped. It's been 4 days since the noise went away and all i did was wash and wax my car. I'm keeping an ear on it to see if it comes back though. (crosses fingers)Good luck with your Z. If I ever figure out where that squeak is coming from I'll be sure to let ya know.

Some Hondas I've seen have used the rear disk for the parking brake. If you think a drum inside of a disk is complicated, take a look at one of Honda's. Sheesh. What they had to go through to get a disk brake to be both hydraulic for normal operation and mechanical for a parking brake was most impressively complicated.
My solution is to not use the parking brake unless I'm on a hill. Just leaving it in gear is enough usually. If you're going to leave your car for over several weeks, don't set the brake.
