They four springs at the bottom of this picture?

[mchawkins]

yeah those are the springs

[Mike Gerber]

Yes, those springs apply light pressure to help the pads pull back slightly from rotor, when you release the brake pedal. I have seen many cars without them with no ill effects, but since they are designed to be there, it's best to have them. Put them back.
