Front and Rear Brake Rotors

The front and rear rotors on a 2012 Lexus IS 350 serve similar purposes but face different stress levels: the front rotors typically absorb most braking force and heat, so they often wear faster than rear rotors. Rear rotors handle less braking load but still require inspection for grooves, rust, and uneven wear. Understanding the difference helps determine whether resurfacing or replacement is the right choice. At Park Place Lexus Grapevine we evaluate both axles, recommend OEM parts when replacement is needed, and explain available promotions. Take advantage of our current service specials and loyalty considerations to reduce out-of-pocket expense. Our certified technicians ensure balanced braking, proper bedding-in of pads and rotors, and system checks for ABS or electronic brake components. Ready to restore confident braking?
