Front and Rear Brake Rotors

The braking system on a 2018 Lexus IS 300 relies on both front and rear rotors, but front rotors typically bear the majority of stopping force. Because braking weight transfers to the front wheels during deceleration, front rotors experience higher heat cycles and wear rates—this means they commonly need attention sooner than rears. At Nalley Lexus Smyrna in Smyrna, GA, our certified Lexus technicians evaluate front and rear rotors independently to ensure balanced braking, consistent pedal feel, and long-term rotor health. We explain the difference between replacement and resurfacing, show OEM part options, and provide transparent pricing so you understand immediate costs and future savings.
