Is it related to the brakes or the nose of the car squatting when you apply them?
If it's just when you apply and release the brakes the rear shoes may be rubbing the backing plate. If that's the case just pop the drums off and put some good quality lube in there. I doubt you have rear disc brakes because I believe only the rare SE models had those.
Edited for spelling.

make sure that the shims are installed between the pads and the caliper. Also, use some anti squeak on them if you haven't already...

Another thing you might try when you apply the "brake quiet" monkey snot to the back of the pads:
1) Take 80 grit sandpaper and rough up (deglaze) the pad's friction surface.
2) Retaining the brake rotors with a couple of lug nuts; start the car - put in gear and with the rotors spinning run a disc sander over the surface where the pads rub. It will impart a swirl pattern (like a cylinder hones crosshatch)
This will force the brakes to re-seat themselves, and should take care of the squeak at low brake pressures.

do you have Honda pads on ??? if not, install Honda factory pads, resurface the rotors and the noise WILL go away..
If you got Honda pads on, resurface the rotors, smooth down the pads as it was stated earlier by MR P_.., use the gray grease that comes with honda pads on the pads, shims , put all together ....
