Default Rattling

I'm hearing a rattling sound in the right rear wheel of my 99 Z34. WhenI apply the emergency break lightly while rolling, it completely goes away. I have pulled my wheel off and checked that everything is tightened down, yet the rattling persists. It is driving me insane. I don't want to take it into the shop and deliver my left arm as payment for the rattling to go away. I am thinking that I may have to adjust my emergency brake. What else could it be? Does anyone know how to adjust the E-brake on this model?

I bought drilled& slotted rotors and new ceramic pads all the way around about 2 months ago.

I think it's the E-Brake. I'm going to get under there today and try and figure out how to adjust it.

The reason I am thinking it's the E-Brake is: a while back a spring came out of that side caliper
and I ran it a while before I replaced it. It's the spring that regulates theE-Brake.I couldn't
find that part for the life of me. No auto parts store had it.I had to go to like 10 junk yards before I finally found it. Must be
a common problem. I put the spring in and it shut up for about a week. I think the E-Brake
UN-adjusted itself while I ran it without the spring. That's the only thing I can think that it
may be. Anybody have this problem that may be able to shed some light on the situation at hand?

Thanks.
