The discs won't fit, they will foul the steering ball joint. The calipers might fit, depending on what wheels you are using.

Discs wont fit as they are the wrong offset if you like.- they sit the disc too far back on the hub. The discs are more suited to 2wd.
I wouldnt bother with the FRS Brembos on a cosworth, there nothing special tbh. Id look at the likes of Subaru STI or Evo brembos or something else.
