imo no, I wrote something up on the reddit that I'll link here. OEM blank replacement rotors are like ~$170 for a full set, stoptech pads on their own are like $130 for a full set, the rotors in that kit are overpriced and the stainless steel lines aren't useful for a DD so you're overpaying by about $200, and you still need to buy brake fluid.

I'm skeptical your rotors are shot, I've got 60k miles on mine, 5 track days, ~3 seasons of autox, I put over 30k miles on the stock pads (2x track days, about 1 season of autox) and they still have life left but I roasted the pads so they weren't gripping well anymore. If it's a brake pad dragging what needs to happen is the caliper slider pins need to be cleaned and regreased, maybe an hours worth of labor, a pad and rotor swap without cleaning the pins would make the noise worse and wear out the new equipment faster.
