05 Super V8/XJR brakes

Are the brakes on the Super V8 different from the XJR for the 2005 year?
If so, are there any aftermarket rotors that will stand more than one pad use as found on the OEM system?
It seems ridiculous to me that the OEM rotors cannot last 2 or 3 pad changes.

Anyone out there know of a good aftermarket rotor for the Super V8?

Am I trying too hard to circumvent the system?

Thanks,
Luis

British cars do not put a lot of meat on the rotors. Not much you can do about it.
