My personal opinion is that at 250 they are worth it.
Buy the bolts and the shim, some SS line, and your choice of Ceramic Pads.
I have to assume that you do not have the R56 front rotors already, get a set of the Centric's from one of the eBay sellers, you can choose if you want Drill, Slotted, Drilled & Slotted or Plain.
There are all kinds of different schools of thought on this; I do not track my car so I went with the Drilled & Slotted and am very happy with the look and function.
With that setup installed and broken in you will be able to stop hard enough to make the fillings in your teeth fly out!
Oh and that same caliper bracket is missing the pad metal brackets. Those thin pieces of metal that the pads slide in on. So I would also need to find those. Just remember after I saw them missing in the picture.
Hey Dave....where was your source for the rotors and pads...I've got a 294mm rotor and R56 to R53 brake conversion in my Fall plans...want to start gathering parts...
I do not know if that part is available separately I can look though.
it looks like they do come with a set of factory pads so you might have to do that to get the parts that you need in order to make this set work. RealOEM.com  BMW R55 Cooper S Rear brake pad wear sensor
250 is a ok price but ive seen better, i got my complete front set for 300 with pads and rotors.
Also +1 for staying away from hawk stuff.
Personally I prefer carbotech.
