Front and Rear Brake Rotors

The front and rear brake rotors on a 2018 Lexus LS 500h serve complementary roles: front rotors typically absorb a greater share of braking force, so they often wear faster and can require earlier attention than rear rotors. Front rotors handle more heat and stress because braking weight transfers forward; the rear rotors contribute to balance and stability. At Stevinson Lexus of Frederick in Frederick, CO, our certified technicians measure thickness, check run-out, and test for heat-related warping to determine whether resurfacing or replacement is the most economical and safety-forward option. When one axle shows uneven wear, we explain the root cause—whether it’s caliper drag, contaminated pads, or driving conditions—and outline repair scenarios along with clear pricing and warranty details. We encourage customers to review our current service specials and use our service financing if needed. To protect stopping performance and preserve long-term value, schedule service online and let our factory-trained team inspect both front and rear systems during a single visit.
