I remember seeing on one of the aftermarket brake websites recently, "anti-knockback springs" or something like that - perhaps springs that go under the caliper pistons to keep them extended?
Aha, this isn't where I found it, but it describes them:
http://www.stoptech.com/tech_info/glossary.shtml
"Knockback springs : Small coil springs fitted inside the caliper pistons of some brakes to prevent the pads from excessive knock back from flexing of the suspension system or run out in the discs. If the disc run out is within specification and the upright/axle assembly is sufficiently rigid, there should be no need for knockback springs. However, when operating conditions are severe with regard to either generated side force or bumps, they may be required on the best of designs. "
