Front and Rear Brake Rotors

Understanding the difference between front and rear rotors on a 2020 Lexus IS 300 matters for safety and value. Front rotors typically do more work because the vehicle's weight shifts forward during braking, so they heat up and wear faster than rear rotors. That means front rotor replacement or resurfacing is more common and often more urgent. Rear rotors still require attention, especially if your driving includes towing, steep grades, or heavy traffic. At Stevinson Lexus of Frederick, our factory-trained technicians measure rotor thickness, check for runout and cracks, and recommend resurfacing when safe and economical or full replacement when necessary. We use OEM or Lexus-approved parts to maintain braking feel and preserve vehicle resale value.
