What is the difference between resurfacing and replacing brake rotors?
- Resurfacing removes a small amount of rotor material to restore a flat braking surface—it's economical when rotors remain above minimum thickness.
- Replacement is required when rotors are too thin, cracked, or damaged beyond safe resurfacing; replacement restores original OEM tolerances.

Front and Rear Brake Rotors
The difference between front and rear rotors on a 2020 Lexus IS 300 is significant: the front rotors handle the majority of braking force and heat, so they typically wear faster than the rear set. Front rotors are often larger and ventilated to dissipate heat, while rear rotors may be smaller or paired with parking brake components. Because the front axle absorbs more kinetic energy during stops, uneven wear, pulsation, or vibration is frequently first noticed up front. At Park Place Lexus Grapevine our technicians measure rotor thickness, inspect for heat cracking and scoring, and compare findings against Lexus specifications. If replacement is needed, we use OEM rotors to preserve braking feel, ABS calibration, and vehicle resale value. We also offer clear pricing and warranty protections so you see both immediate and long-term savings. Check our service specials, and when you're ready schedule service online—our certified team will provide fast, reliable work and guidance on maintaining both front and rear systems.
