Sorting Out Your Disc Brake Rotors — The DBA Way
> Disc brake rotors are a seriously important bit of kit for your Lexus or Toyota's brakes. Over time, they take a hammering from friction and heat, especially if you're giving it some stick in a Mark X or a hybrid Crown. This wear and tear means your braking won't be as sharp as it should be, and that's not ideal for anyone.
What Clued You In?
• Brakes squealing like a stuck pig or grinding away?
• Feeling a shudder through the brake pedal?
• Taking longer to pull up than usual?
• Rotors looking worse for wear with scoring, cracks, or rust?
• Brake pads wearing unevenly?
Will it pass WOF?
Worn or dodgy disc brake rotors are a classic reason for failing a WOF here in NZ. Your rotors need to be above the minimum thickness and free from major damage to get the green light.

Time Needed: Give yourself 2-3 hours per axle
