Should I replace brake pads and rotors at the same time on a 2017 Lexus Is-300?
Replace both only if the rotors are below minimum thickness or heat-damaged; if rotors are within spec and smooth, pads alone may be appropriate.
For a 2017 Lexus Is-300, our technicians mic the rotors and compare them to the stamped minimum specification. Excessive grooves, blueing, or thickness variation can require rotor replacement with the pads for proper braking and reduced noise. Well measure, explain options, and provide an estimate before work. You can schedule service anytime.
- Rotor minimum thickness is stamped on the rotor hat
- Even, in-spec rotors may be reused with new pads
- Severely worn or heat-spotted rotors should be replaced
