Mine had them too (bought at 27K mi), but the non-S cars don't have them from the factory, only the S. They certainly don't hurt to have,. but install the new pads without the dampers. If you have a squeal problem, perhaps due to the pads you bought, then reinstall the dampers. I did mine using stock Porsche pads and its quiet.

Good luck
