The 850s really have a tendancy to go through brakes like no other. I put a set of cross drilled on mine and they only lasted about 15k before they became warped, and faded really badly. I suggest trying slotted, and to have your calipers checked too. I negelcted to change my rotors for a while, and it killed my calipers, which made it worse. The trade off is the 850 killed the compition (BMW 3 series, Benz C class, Acura Legend) in braking distance.
