Front and Rear Brake Rotors

The front and rear rotors on a 2021 Lexus IS 300 perform different roles and often wear at different rates. Front rotors handle the majority of braking force in most driving conditions due to weight transfer, which causes them to experience higher heat and wear more quickly than rear rotors. Rear rotors complement the front system, assist with stability during stops, and may show different wear patterns depending on vehicle load and driving style. At Herb Chambers Lexus of Hingham our certified technicians evaluate both axle sets independently and recommend resurfacing when surface conditions allow or replacement when thickness or damage exceeds safe limits. Choosing OEM rotors and pads ensures consistent braking feel and retains factory tolerances—important for longevity and warranty compliance. We honor transparent pricing and present clear options, emphasizing how correct repairs reduce future costs by preventing uneven wear and protecting pads, calipers, and ABS components.
