Default Rear rotor and caliper replaced!

Just finished changing my rear rotors and calipers! Honestly, it was a pain because of everything that was rusted... but except for the rust, it was such a piece of cake. I figure I would've been done with the whole thing in about an hour if it wasn't for the rust and the stripped nuts- what a nightmare.

Thanks to all you guys who helped me out on my other posts, sincerely. Wanna hear something funny? I stripped two of my lug nuts trying to get the rusted piece of craps out... the lugs didn't even come out with a teethed bit- so I went to audi... guess how much they charged to remove two stripped lugs (not including the $8.00 for the parts). Ready? $70.18. I cried. Then I laughed. It's just crazy.

70 actually sounds about average.. it can be a real pain. Guess how much they charged me for 1 lug nut I found out was missing since I got my car and likely the cause for warped discs and squeaky brakes. NOTHING I walked in they handed me one from around the shop and let me go with all my money still in my pocket. That was pretty exciting lol.

Free lug nut? I have to admit, that's pretty nice... but still, I wish they charged me for the lug nut instead of the $70 for the 2 minutes it took to airgun the lug nuts off.
