JCW brakes for sure or the stock brakes off of an R56, which are the JCW ones anyway.

But itsn't there more to it than just that ? I thought I understood that to use R56 Rotors and Calipers I needed to change the lugs and ?

I've looked all this stuff up and it looks like you need the following

Caliper L 34-11-6-778-335
Caliper R 34-11-6-778-336
Brake Carrier L 34-20-6-779-729
Brake Carrier R 34-20-6-779-730
Rotor Drilled/Slotted 34-11-6-774-986 x2
Pads 34-11-6-778-320
Wear Sensor 61-13-1-372-391
Brake Lines 34-11-6-772-555 x2

Rotors don't need to be drilled/slotted, just happened to look it up and price it all out with those.
