PRB rear brake caliper Counter Weights...

I have a question about the PBR rear brake counter weights, mainly what do they do exactly. I have two different sets of PBR calipers one with the counter weights and one with. The set with the counter weights the rubber bushings are warn out so I was wondering what if they can be replaced and what purpose if any do they serve or do they not matter really all that much.

Any input on this would be great, thank you in advance.

Kevin
