Front and Rear Brake Rotors
The front and rear rotors on a 2021 Lexus RX 450h serve different roles and wear at different rates. Front rotors typically handle more braking force because weight transfers forward during stops, so they often wear faster and may need resurfacing or replacement sooner than rear rotors. Rear rotors provide balance and stability and on hybrid systems like the RX 450h you may also rely on regenerative braking, which can change wear patterns. At Stevinson Lexus of Frederick our certified technicians inspect both front and rear rotors for thickness, runout, scoring, and heat damage. We explain whether resurfacing meets safety specs or if replacement with OEM rotors is the responsible choice. We transparently detail how delayed service can lead to increased costs: warped rotors can damage pads and calipers, cause ABS sensor faults, or require towing if braking is compromised. Take advantage of our service specials, ask about loyalty program benefits, and schedule service online to maintain safe braking and protect your vehicle’s long-term value.
