Default 2015 Lexus Gs350 Fsport Brakes

I replaced my brake pads 14,000 dealership claimed it was normal , I know better than than to believe that my brand new car will be going thru rotors and pads so quickly, I paid and replaced the pads and resurfaced the rotors them now the car has 18,000 mike and looks like I need to replace again. 2015 lexus gs350 fsport Rwd.
I cant find anything other than oem rotors, anyone know of a better replacement for rotors and pads? Part numbers if you have them please! Thank you in advance!

I replaced just my front brake pads about 3 weeks ago. Had about 18,250 miles on the original front pads with about 4mm left. Spent about less than $70 total for OEM GS350 F Sport fronts pads (got it from Ebay for $56 plus $6 shipping) and can of brake cleaner. Reused the shims as well. Took about hour or so. Had to clean the inside of the rims since it was already off and took time putting everything back making sure everything is good.

You must brake hard and a lot. I'm at 23K miles and still haven't been told that I need new pads yet.

I actually need rotors and pads, and since my oem brake pads at 14,000 miles replaced and again pads and now rotors wore out at 18,000 miles I am looking for an alternative that does not involve a big brake kit, unless it is needed.
