adjusted handbrake...woohoo down to 1 click!

Good point, but not on mine. Before riding off into the sunset, I tested the rear wheel freedom after actuating the hand brake after adjustment and all was fine. I think 3-4 clicks is just a "stock" adjustment point, but you can actually get it tighter without rubbing.

^^^^^This. I took my car to a local shop to have the brakes checked last year. My pads were only 20% worn. The sound war coming from the rear brakes. Just dust build up that needed cleaning out, and they also made the hand brake adjustment you speak of. When I picked the car up, the hand brake was also at 1 click, and there was no rubbing.
