The pads on the later calipers last longer, but the braking is the 
same.  The late calipers will not fit unless you also put on the late 
steering knuckles, so this becomes quite a job.

The little gismo is called a "damper", but it is just hollow with 
nothing inside it.  I find it rather mysterious myself and am tempted 
to leave it off next time.
