  • Early diagnosis at Park Place Lexus prevents costly downstream damage and keeps your 2018 Lexus RC 300 safe and reliable.

How do you know when to replace brake rotors?

What is the difference between resurfacing and replacing brake rotors?

  • Resurfacing (machining) smooths the rotor face to remove minor scoring or unevenness; replacement is required when rotors are below minimum thickness, severely warped, or structurally damaged.
  • At Park Place Lexus we evaluate safety, longevity, and cost; we recommend the option that preserves braking performance and long-term value, backed by certified technicians and OEM parts.

Front and Rear Brake Rotors

Front and rear rotors serve different roles on the 2018 Lexus RC 300. The front rotors absorb most braking force because weight transfers forward during deceleration; as a result, front rotors usually wear faster and may require replacement sooner than rear rotors. Rear rotors contribute to stability and help balance braking force. When a front rotor shows vibration, deep scoring, or falls below the manufacturer’s minimum thickness, it can cause steering shimmy, increased stopping distances, and uneven pad wear—issues that can cascade into more expensive repairs if left unattended. At Park Place Lexus in Plano, TX, our technicians measure rotor thickness, check runout, and inspect pads and calipers to determine whether resurfacing or replacement is the right choice. We use OEM parts to ensure correct fit and performance and offer clear estimates with available service specials to help reduce out-of-pocket cost. To keep your braking system fully protected and your 2018 Lexus RC 300 performing as designed, schedule service online today or ask about our service financing options to get repairs done right away.

2018 Lexus RC 300 Brake Rotors
