Front rotors can warp from high heat during repeated hard stops, while rear rotors often last longer but may suffer from corrosion or uneven pad contact. At Stevinson Lexus of Lakewood our technicians measure both front and rear rotor thickness and surface quality, recommending resurfacing only when it restores OEM specs; otherwise we replace rotors with factory parts to ensure proper fit and braking balance.
