You guys are correct about the dampers. Not needed as long as there isn't noise. They are a godsend when your pads doesn't match your driving and decide its time to scream.
Steve about the set of springs, that is interesting to consider. You could probably design around a very stiff spring that is "relaxed" so no force when the pad is in contact with the disc and would interact with the pad once it is kicked back. Then again, you will applying a minute amount of force during cornering on the working wheel, slowing it down, but not affect straight line speed. Or you could just left foot brake on the straight to see if your pedal is still there.
