I ordered Mitsubishi part number 3780A018 for my 2015 DE and couldn't be happier with how this turned out. I finally got my hands on a fully-assembled, new, OEM, complete and ready-to-install set of drums for my Mirage!

The drum assembly comes with a new bearing pressed in, lug nut studs pressed in, c-clip securing the bearing and the ABS tone ring installed with the rubber cover. The drum is also partially painted for corrosion resistance. I might spray the drums with a couple coats of heat resistant black paint for giggles.

Yes, i paid a lot for these but i got exactly what I was hoping for and wanted. I'll likely buy 3780A018 again when i make it to 200,000 miles. It was an expensive gamble but it will allow me to finally replace my wornout rear drum brakes (95k miles) and it'll help other Mirage owners going forward. I'm happy to contribute.

PS: i didn't want to buy used parts, i don't have a lot of free time to go to junkyards right now, i also didn't want to assemble a bare drum if i could help it, i didn't want to try my luck with Rock Auto a second time

I understand completely getting OEM to avoid the Mirage aftermarket nightmare but will Mitsu ever lower their part prices for our Mirages?

that was a lot of money now i understand why Mitsubishi is not that popular in the US, here that part no only cost 135.35 from the dealer.

What size/year drum are you talking? Same part number?

Out here we have a smaller drum on the 2015 and older Mirages and a larger one on the 17 and newer. The newer larger drum seems easier to find a way cheaper aftermarket than the older smaller drum. There might even be a third drum for a different market??
In North America the older model has some weird(but simple) kind of a ratcheting bar for the adjuster and the newer ones have a traditional star wheel adjuster like what's found in almost everything with drum brakes.

Might have to do a big group order from out that way? I'm running out of spare 15' drums at work here. They can't wreck them fast enough.

the exact part no that he gave ive search it from our local mitsubishi online parts system. thats in peso i just coverted it to US dollar, but no on hand as of this moment i think is because they already have the newer part no but i doubt the price difference is that high.
