Mitsu did that for a short amount of time on Evo 8's.... then they started to back out of it. I was a lucky one who got all 4 replaced for peeling clear coat on every one. I think it was because I went to a brand new Mitsubishi dealer.

Maybe I'm a bit weird but I would wash and shine/wax the Brembos when I would wash the rest of the car. Made the dirt come of easier and they were as red as they were when I first picked the car up.

Don't you know the rules? You should be complaining about sh/t Mitsubishi paint (et al). Instead, you're taking care of the finish. How dare you?

You should see if you can keep the old ones and then get ahold of me with them .

I'm considering taking mine in for this as well. Both front calipers are peeling pretty badly. Started at about 12k miles....
