they are for noise. i ran mintex pads w/o dampers and no squeal. now on pagid yellow and some squeal when cold but otherwise fine.

uh, there is no reason why the dampers would interfere with any pads. Track pads and street pads have the same basic dimensions. If you can't get your pads in, you are not pushing the pistons in enough. Maybe its a Canadian option???
The rear ones have spring clips that keep them in the pistons.
That being said, I too don't see how that would let the piston pull a pad away from the rotor.
Dampers, use them or not? Up to you. My feeling is they are there from the factory, so they have some value
