Default Seized Rear Calipers

To those of you who live in areas where cars are prone to rust, keep an eye on your brakes. The pistons seized up on my two rear calipers causing them to lock up. I paid $856 altogether for new calipers, pads, and rotors with a lifetime warranty. Just a heads up i could have probably gotten a cheaper price elsewhere, but i am driving to New York City in two days and jut needed to get it done

Thanks for responding, i was curious as to when i changed the rear brakes haha, and rust is a *****, theres a decent amount underneath but mechanics say all cars where i am look like that or worse so i won't worry. I get ut washed every two days so hopefully that helps more then it hurts
