Front and Rear Brake Rotors

On a 2012 Lexus IS 250 the front and rear rotors perform complementary roles: front rotors handle the majority of braking force and heat during normal driving, while rear rotors stabilize and assist stopping. Because front rotors absorb more energy, they usually wear faster and may need replacement sooner than the rear set. At Stevinson Lexus of Frederick in Frederick, CO, our factory-trained technicians evaluate both axle assemblies, checking thickness, runout, and surface condition. We explain whether resurfacing or full replacement is the safest, most economical option and provide transparent estimates before any work begins. If resurfacing is feasible, it removes minor ridges and restores a smooth braking plane; if not, we recommend OEM replacement rotors for consistent performance and longevity. Take advantage of our current service specials and ask about loyalty program discounts when you schedule service. Our goal is to keep your Lexus stopping smoothly while minimizing overall ownership costs with quality parts and corrective action that protects long-term value.
