Parking brake squeak/creak??

Anyone have any issues with their rear parking break pads squeeking? Mine squeak/creak every time I have the e brake engaged and step out of the car or when I have the ebrake up and air down..so annoying. Had the same issue in my G35 that I never really got around to fix..I was thinking of either changing the parking shoes or maybe going at them with some sand paper (old school guys will get it) and maybe making an adjustment to see if it does anything..car only has 30k on it...

Mine does but I attribute that to the rear suspension. It's locked in place by the parking brake so it complains when I step out of the car -- it can't easily change position due to reduced load. Motorcycle riders know what I'm talking about. Braking to a stop compresses the forks a bit. If you don't ease up on the brake lever after stopping, the forks stay compressed because of the locked brakes. Same with the G. The rear suspension can't move with the load reduction after the parking brake is applied.
