Is this normal? just got brake pads changed...
I was pretty sure that my car didn't have these round/metal wheels sticking out before... Should I take it back?
Note, just the front ones look like this, I bought the Brake Kit from Amazon Two Front Back

Those are dampeners to help kill some of the potential noise from the Brembos. I cut em off of mine. They're harmless.

Yup. My 2102 has those since new. They'll hopefully help with brake noise/squeal.
