Front and Rear Brake Rotors

Understanding the difference between front and rear brake rotors keeps your 2011 Lexus IS 250 C stopping safely and smoothly. Front rotors typically handle a greater share of the braking load because weight transfers to the front of the vehicle during deceleration; that is why front rotors and pads often wear faster than rear components. Rear rotors still play a crucial role in stability and parking braking systems. At Stevinson Lexus of Frederick in Frederick, CO, our technicians measure thickness, runout, and surface condition to determine whether resurfacing or replacement is best. We explain why a warped front rotor can cause steering wheel vibration and how unaddressed rear rotor wear can affect ABS modulation and uneven pad wear.

We also post current service specials to reduce your out-of-pocket cost and offer service financing if you need to get repairs done now and pay later.
