Front and Rear Brake Rotors
Understanding the difference between front and rear rotors is essential for safe braking on your 2018 Lexus GS 350. The front rotors do most of the work in stopping because weight transfers forward during braking; that means front rotors often wear faster and may require replacement sooner than rear rotors. Rear rotors and pads help stabilize the vehicle and share braking duty, but they typically see less stress. At Park Place Lexus in Plano, TX, our technicians follow Lexus specifications to inspect thickness, runout, and surface condition for both axles. When a rotor shows excessive wear or heat damage, our factory-trained techs will recommend resurfacing if it’s within OEM limits, or replacement with OEM rotors when necessary. Choosing Park Place Lexus ensures correct parts, calibrated torque and bedding-in processes, and warranty-compliant repairs—important for long-term safety and value. Take advantage of our current service specials and flexible payment options; you can also schedule service online for a convenient appointment that fits your day.
