chirpy rear brakes on 98 Civic sedan

    I have a 98 Civic sedan and have noticed that the rear brakes "chirp" when I
    let off the brake pedal....They don't squeel when I apply the brake, just
    when I release it.... I think that the noise occurs when the rear calipers
    are applied to the drum..The noise also occurs when I lift the handbrake up
    and down..

    Any ideas on how to fix this?? I don't want to go to a brake shop (Midas) as
    I am sure that they will try to sell me a whole new brake kit...
    Thanks,
    MG

    OK
    i had the same problem.
    that indicates that your brake pads need too be changed.
    after some time the brakes gona make that sound all the time eve if you not
    using brakes.brake pads have a installed like alarm thing. thats why you
    hear this sound.that helps not to screw up your brake rotors or drums.
