Front and Rear Brake Rotors

Front and rear rotors serve the same purpose—dissipating heat and providing friction surface for braking—but front rotors typically handle more braking load and may wear faster than rear rotors. On the 2018 Lexus RX 450hL, the front axle absorbs a larger share of stopping force due to weight transfer under braking, which is why front rotors and pads often require attention sooner. Rear rotors still require inspection, as uneven wear or caliper issues can compromise balance and safety. At Stevinson Lexus of Frederick, our factory-trained technicians evaluate both front and rear systems and recommend resurfacing when condition and thickness permit or OEM replacement when necessary. We emphasize genuine parts, clear workmanship warranties, and service transparency. Take advantage of our maintenance offers and service specials, and use service financing if you prefer to defer payment. Ready to protect your RX 450hL’s braking system?
