Front and Rear Brake Rotors
Front and rear brake rotors serve different roles on your 2018 Lexus GS 450h and understanding the difference helps protect performance and safety. The front rotors handle the majority of stopping force because braking weight shifts forward; they typically wear faster and may require replacement sooner than rear rotors. Rear rotors contribute to balance and parking-brake function and can show different wear patterns. At Park Place Lexus in Plano, TX, our certified technicians evaluate both axles to recommend the most cost-effective solution—resurface when safe or replace with OEM rotors when necessary. We explain the immediate cost and the long-term savings of doing the job right, including warranty protection that comes from factory-trained Lexus technicians.
