The parts store tells me even factory mitsubishi parts are bought from the lowest bidder, so they don't think there will be any difference.


Might be the lowest bidder in a sense - but that "price" is always associated to an annual quantity and usually to the project life or a defined time frame. Typically 5 years or more. There is a HUGE TON more testing and validation with OEM to assure that the components last and preform. Not so with aftermarket.
