You want to be looking for these numbers
Brake Engineering CA138 & CA138R
XL XC80284 & XC80285
Remy DC80284 & DC80285
Lucus BCW168 & BCW169

I think the calipers from a 2.8 would be different because of the different disc sizes and thickness.
Hope this helps.
Dan

Just had a look in a brake book and the Discs for a 2.0 are 245 diameter solid disc with a 27mm offset and the 2.8 are 245 vented 32mm offset and 2 of the caliper books say they are different.

Only way to be sure is to offer them up as it may only be the caliper carrier what is different.

Im only going by aftermarket books.

Someone else might be able to put us right.
