WTB: UNKNOWN PART(pics inside)

The part that i need is illustrated in red. I know it looks elementary but please help me. what is this thing really called. Any help where i can get it from?? Im looking for all four. Any on have them?? Please pm or reply with pricing . I will cover the shipping with a UPS call tag.

I noticed that some maxes have it and some dont. I have a 97 SE if that makes a difference.

brake rotors? you can get cheap ones from an auto store for $10 a piece or look in the group deals for better quality ones, ie: brembo rotors

You got the brake pads in red too, you might want to replace those with the rotors if need be. they can be cheap too.

those pins arent that really imprtant. they just separate both break pads so they wont rub or make noise. i dont have them on my car and they dont make noise or nothin.

Maybe your calipers need to be changed or you need to bleed your system and add fresh brake fluid?

those springs do serve a purpose, sure you can go without them but its not advisable..not only do they keep the brake pads from riding the rotor but they also aid in keeping the rotor cool and preventing premature pad failure..in other words they help the brake pads to last longer providing the sliders for the pads have been cleaned and lubricated allowing the pads to move as designed.
