Googling around found this
Miata forum, and this
Miata how-to, which suggest they may be anti-rattle, but may be able to keep the pads off the rotors also. I think it's not about the springs using lots of force to pry the calipers far away from the rotor almost instantly, but just enough to barely move it away, or just enough to keep them from moving back on their own. Just my guess.
