The bushings can be done at Mazdatrix. Toe link & trail arms from M2, Pettit, Rotary Extreme and I will be making some out of titanium in the future. You can turn the dampers to the lowest setting, add helper springs (assuming you don't loose travel when lowering) or get softer springs. I will be changing to 8/5's.

I won't let go
I've noticed that the trim piece that attaches to the hatch itself may squeek. I haven't isolated the problem yet, but will let you all know when I do. Also, if your shocks for the hatch aren't strong enough, they may be causing the hatch to bounce a bit. That's what's happening to me, and has been since I did my coil overs.

Ah squeaks and rattles in the rear. Just the way I like my women!
The coilovers themself, make some noise, mine do the same thing. Also try adjusting the latch for the rear hatch, this is a common problem.
Bushings and other pieces are a good bet as well, but are expensive and are much harder to check.
A FD makes all kind of noises in itself as it is, it is a lightweight "pure" sports car, that is going on twelve years old now.
