I'm not 100% sure but i would say no. I think you would need these to make it work.

i just got a set also. talking to dan from grass roots, they are the same as R53 JCW. the pads are the same. the only difference is the holes on the rotor for the lugs are bigger. i think i'm planning on getting some bushings made to fit the smaller lugs.<---not needed(edited post)

stu(pid), i have not done it yet, because i'm la(zy). but i have made a "discovery". i will not be needing to put bushings in the larger lug holes. when doing a brake job on a honda oddysey i noticed that after removing the 2 tiny screws that hold the rotor to the hub, i could (after whacking it with a hammer to free it from the hub) actually move the rotor about 1mm radially in either direction. this means that the lugs (or studs in this case) do not actually hold the rotor in place, it is simply the friction of the rotor/hub mating surface. the wheel squeezes the rotor hard enough to prevent it from moving.
so now, all i need to get is some good pads and i can slap them on there.

ok, i just put one side on to test fit. they fit perfect.
**but you need the brake lines from the R56!**
the R53 (at least mine) has the brake line fitting on the rear of the caliper, the R56 has it on top. this will not work.
so i just need some lines. anybody have any laying around?
i will post pics if you guys want...
