A month ago a guy bought ES model with drums, which is retarded as disks are standard on DE models.. Now you're saying u got DE with disks.. I think someone fell asleep at the mitsubishi plant. :)

Double check the online specs. Phone the dealers to inquire what one should have on a specific model. If you don't have what you should then go and complain. Though in your case of course if you got discs instead of drums then you're off to a good start. Perhaps they changed something in production. It's possible.

My car is a 2008 Lancer DE and yeah it's just drums. :57:
