Front and Rear Brake Rotors
Front and rear rotors serve the same purpose but experience different loads. On a 2018 Lexus GS 450h, the front rotors typically do more work because weight transfers forward during braking, which causes faster wear than the rear. Rear rotors, aided by parking brake systems and sometimes regenerative braking in hybrid operation, usually wear more slowly. Knowing this helps prioritize inspection and budget: front rotor replacement is more common, while rear rotors may only need resurfacing or pad replacement. Herb Chambers Lexus of Hingham offers transparent pricing, OEM parts, and technician certification so you won’t face repeat labor costs—our approach often costs less overall than piecemeal work at independent shops.
