There was a period where these "weights" were put on my GM but there was also a period when the brake assemblies came from Brembo with the stick-on weights installed (anyone who toured Martinrea in October will remember seeing the brake assemblies from Brembo Italy with the weights installed already). There's another thread somewhere about this where I posted the whole sequence for evolution on these from the CTF cars to present - sorry no VIN cut-offs.
Again, as Tran and others have said, these are not their for weight purposes, but rather are designed for harmonic dampening (sic).....

I figured there might be someone closer to the source on this board -- thanks for straightening me out. My source (who is
very close to a certain supplier) did not have all the details. Let's hope they don't get those new brake pads too wet when they install the damper weights.
