What is the difference between resurfacing and replacing brake rotors?

  • Resurfacing (machining) smooths the rotor face to remove light scoring and restore flatness, which can be a cost-effective option when rotors remain within thickness specifications.
  • Replacement is required when rotors are below minimum thickness, severely warped, or cracked. Using OEM rotors at Stevinson Lexus of Frederick ensures correct materials and fitment for braking performance and longevity.
  • We provide clear recommendations, compare immediate costs vs. long-term value, and honor warranty terms that often require certified-dealership work; check service specials or schedule service with flexible financing options.

Front and Rear Brake Rotors

Front and rear rotors serve distinct roles on your 2018 Lexus RC 350. The front rotors handle the majority of braking force—often 60–70%—so they typically experience higher heat and wear. Rear rotors work with the parking brake and help balance stopping forces; they can sometimes last longer under normal driving but may wear faster if the vehicle is heavily loaded or driven aggressively. At Stevinson Lexus of Frederick in Frederick, CO, our technicians measure rotor thickness, runout, and surface condition to determine whether resurfacing or replacement is safest and most cost-effective. Choosing OEM front and rear rotors preserves ABS and traction-control calibration, braking feel, and resale value. We explain differences between front and rear service needs, highlight any immediate risks of delaying repairs, and describe how prompt work prevents caliper and hub damage—saving you time and money in the long run.
