Update on the Brembo Calipers...
I know this subject gets beat to death but I am just giving an update to those who are still struggling with this issue.
So I got my driver side front caliper replaced yesterday courtesy of Ocean Mitsubishi. I was talking to the representative and for all of you who might not know why the calipers peel to begin with; Mitsubishi decided that they wanted "Mitsubishi" red as the color of the brembo. So even though brembo physically did the painting, it wasn't their paint specifications. (Leave it to Mitsubishi to change the already red brembo calipers to a slightly different shade).
Anyways, the calipers are now painted with brembo paint and I was told they will now withstand the temp. Let's see how long this lasts...
Oh and one more thing....1 caliper costs $1,386 so get yours replaced while your still under warranty.

To be completely honest it wasn't a big hassle at all. Ocean Mitsubishi in RI was very helpful. I went to them because I go to school in RI (live in NY) and within a week the area rep. was there to inspect the car and they took care of it.
