The quick answer is "yes"
You will need some 10mm spacers for the calipers and thats about it
Or you could do what i done and fit V6 Mundeo Brakes which are the same and just need the Caliper Carrier ground down a tad as they are 280's as well
Cheaper i found because they are NOT Cosworth
While you are doing the Fronts, you might as well do the backs as well and fit an RS2K rear Beam. With the fronts and back both done, i found it totaly Transformed the car and you will benifit from a handbrake that actualy works

if it is to go under 18's

use mk3 mondeo calipers, focus st170 disks. all you need to do is drill the hubs out to 12mm.
