Is it to limit heat transfer? They are kind of a nuisance.
Can you get rid of them altogether? If its a noise suppression thing, I don't really care.

I'm with you. I'm referring to the yellow ceramic pucks we kept having to stuff back in on the bottom pistons. What a nuisance.
Can the car be run without them? If it's a heat thing, they stay. If it's a noise thing, they go.

The ceramic pucks should always be used since they do not like to transer heat to your calipers. If you strugled to put in new brake pads it is because the rubber seals that hold in the little ceramic donuts are old and cooked. What used to be soft and rubbery turns to a crunchy plastic like a water bottle and then it no longer holds the ceramic in place. (when swapping rake pads) replace the rubber seals and your problem is solved for one or two years.

Stay away from me on the track if you don't run the yellow pucks. You will blow your seals and have brake fluid all over every thing and be looking for a new car as yours will be in the wall. Any more ???

He has the yellow pucks still in his calipers...2 fell out and I put them back in. He still had the anti squeal shims which I took out.
I also told him to go get his rubber piston seals replaced as all of them were rotted or missing.
