hi guys, its not really much to worry about
basically, nearly all brakes squeak under certain conditions (damp).
the idea of the lead weights is to increase the mass of the callipers and so change the resonate frequency of the squeak
imagine this, you but a new camaro and you drive it in the rain, the brakes are super squeaky. that's not gonna do much for your confidence in the car so by changing the frequency of the brakes it makes it look seem better
since its glues on by adhesive, it wont make a difference because lead has a relatively low melting point (327.46 °C), this s easily achievable by the brakes, so the lead will melt and weld itself onto the brakes, so no problem there
for all you guys who say the glue will become "unglued", they've used a thermosetting adhesive, it doesn't melt, so it'll stick for long enough until the lead welds itself onto the callipers
