Front and Rear Brake Rotors
On the 2011 Lexus GS 450h, front and rear rotors serve distinct roles and are subject to different wear patterns. The front rotors typically handle a larger share of braking force because weight transfers forward under braking; that means front rotors often wear faster and may require replacement sooner than the rear set. Rear rotors assist with stability and parking functions and may be designed differently—sometimes thinner or vented versus solid—based on the vehicle's braking system. Choosing Herb Chambers Lexus of Hingham for inspections and repairs ensures the right rotor type and thickness are used for each axle, preserving ABS and stability control performance. We explain differences in part design, show wear measurements, and recommend resurfacing versus replacement only when it benefits safety and longevity.
