Front and Rear Brake Rotors
Front rotors typically handle a larger share of braking force and heat, so they often wear faster than rear rotors on a 2018 Lexus IS 300. Front rotors are usually larger and thicker to handle heavier loads; rear rotors complement braking balance and, in some conditions, serve parking brake functions. Symptoms like front-end vibration or pull during braking often indicate front rotor issues, while rear rotor problems might present as rear chatter or reduced parking brake effectiveness. At Park Place Lexus, we measure both front and rear rotors, recommend matched replacements when needed, and install OEM components for balanced performance. Take advantage of our dealership trust factors—warranties, certified techs, and transparent service quotes—to protect braking performance and vehicle value.
