Default Question - Will pads wear quicker!?!

On Tuesday I ordered a set of brembo blanks for my 92 civic si hatch...or at least i thought I did. After receiving the package the following day, I noticed that they were brembo cross drilled. My question is, if I were to put these on my car, with stock calipers and pads, would these new rotors wear out my pads quicker?

you bet, and the cross drilled slotted rotors will only heat up your pads faster.

Cross drilled/slotted are a big no no for street IMO.

Rather have an engine fail than brakes.

Definitely.
Not to mention cross drilled are prone to cracking where the rotor was drilled...

Sell em and buy some Brembo blanks or OEM rotors.

Thanks for all the replies. I went to the shop today, and apparently after they checked the same site they went to orinally, they couldn't find the first set of cross drilled that they ordered...they said that will have to call their manufactuers and figure out what's going on. In the mean time I decided to leave the set they gave me at their shop, this way I'm not liable to aNYTHING that happen to them while this situation is getting sorted out.
