  • We highlight immediate and lifetime savings of correct service: resurfacing when appropriate saves money now, while OEM replacement avoids repeat visits and potential drivetrain or ABS issues.
  • Book a diagnostic and let our factory-trained team recommend the right action—schedule service and check our service specials.

Front and Rear Brake Rotors

Front and rear rotors on a 2012 Lexus IS F serve the same braking purpose but endure different loads and wear patterns. The front rotors typically handle a greater portion of braking force due to weight transfer during deceleration; as a result they often heat up faster and can show signs of wear sooner than the rear set. Rear rotors experience different stresses and may have integrated parking brake components that require separate inspection. At Park Place Lexus in Plano, TX our technicians measure rotor thickness, check for runout and heat cracking, and compare results to Lexus factory specifications. We explain whether resurfacing is a safe, short-term option or whether replacement with OEM rotors is the better investment for long-term performance and safety. We back every brake job with dealer warranties and recommend pairing rotor service with new pads when needed to avoid accelerated wear and uneven braking.
