Front and Rear Brake Rotors

Understanding front and rear rotor function helps you make informed service decisions for your 2021 Lexus RX 450h. Front rotors handle the majority of braking force and typically wear faster because weight transfers forward under braking; rear rotors support stability, parking brake function, and balanced stopping. At Park Place Lexus Grapevine in Grapevine, TX, our certified Lexus technicians inspect both axles to determine whether resurfacing or replacement is appropriate. Resurfacing can be a cost‑effective option when rotors have light scoring and sufficient thickness, while replacement is required for deep grooves, cracking, or when minimum thickness is exceeded. We install OEM parts and document thickness measurements so you have transparent pricing and a clear record for warranty and resale. Take advantage of our service specials and convenient online tools—when you’re ready, schedule service to protect stopping power and extend rotor life.
