Rear brake help

I just changed the rotors, pads and brake lines all the way around my FD. When we took the rear calipers off, neither caliper had the "v-spring" in it. Doesn't this help seperate the pads when not under braking? Is it ok to run without this "v-spring". I'm not even really sure where it hooks up, but I did see that part in the service manual, and not on my car. Any help/advice?

Its to help reduce chatter. It is not needed. If you have it, then put it back in. The hooked ends go into the little holes on the brake pad.
