Front and Rear Brake Rotors

Front and rear rotors perform distinct roles on your 2017 Lexus IS 350. The front rotors typically absorb a larger share of braking force because weight transfers forward during deceleration; as a result front rotors often wear faster than rear rotors. Rear rotors help stabilize and balance braking, but depending on your vehicle’s drivetrain and brake proportioning they may experience different wear patterns. At Herb Chambers Lexus of Hingham our certified Lexus technicians visually inspect rotors, measure thickness and runout, and test for heat spotting or scoring. We use OEM replacement rotors designed to meet Lexus tolerances so the balance, pedal feel, and anti-lock braking system operate as intended. When you choose our dealership you get calibrated equipment, factory procedures, and trained staff who understand the interplay between pads, calipers, and rotors. We also highlight relevant service offers—check our service specials—and provide simple, transparent pricing.
