Front and Rear Brake Rotors

The 2016 Lexus GS 350 uses a braking system engineered for balanced performance; front rotors typically carry the brunt of stopping force and can wear faster than rear rotors because braking weight shifts forward. Front rotors are larger and dissipate more heat—this is why front-side wear often shows earlier in everyday driving. Rear rotors still matter for stability, ABS function and balanced pad wear. At Stevinson Lexus of Frederick in Frederick, CO, our technicians measure rotor thickness, check thermal condition and evaluate runout to determine whether resurfacing or replacement best restores factory feel and stopping distance. We highlight the immediate savings of choosing the correct repair and the long-term value of OEM parts—resurfaced rotors can be a cost-effective option when thickness remains within spec, while new OEM rotors are recommended when theres structural damage or the rotor is below minimum thickness.
