No! The 36659 is listed as "BRAKE SPECIAL WITH PLATES SET" on Nitrohouse.com and consists of only 2 plates with special pads attached for $31.95. In order to make the full conversion to use these pads, you must buy 2 sets and eliminate 2 of the discs converting to a dual brake system (1 for the front and 1 for the rear) instead of the quad system that comes stock. I verified this with a phone call to Nitrohouse who called OFNA while I was on hold. This is an insane price. If there is another option, I'm unaware of it. I'm going to send my set back for a refund.
