Default wheel weights on front brake calipers?

i saw this on a suspension build in a magazine, and they said they would discuss it later, but never did. has anyone encountered this and does anyone know why theyre there?

It was in this months Camaro Performance. I would imagine that later is going to be in another magazine. They said something along the lines of that is another article. I am interested to see what the big deal is. Maybe they weighed the four corners and this evens things up. lol
