Should I replace brake pads and rotors at the same time on a 2018 Lexus Rc-350?
Replace both only if rotors are at or below Lexus minimum thickness spec, heat-checked, or out-of-round (excess runout).
If your 2018 Lexus Rc-350 rotors measure within spec and the surface is healthy, pads-only can be appropriate; otherwise, pads plus rotors is the right call. Our technicians measure rotor thickness and runout and show you the readings so you can decide with confidence. Matching the service to the measurements helps you avoid noise, pulsation, and premature pad wear.
