A6 2.8 - 4.2 - 2.7T Interchangle Parts
Can you swap parts from the 4.2 to 2.7T to a 2.8? I don't mean anything major like engine or tranny, but I mean wheels/tires, suspension, brakes, anti-roll bars/strut tower braces, etc.

Wheels/tires, brakes, anti-sway bars from the A6 4.2/2.7T can go directly on the 2.8
Suspension parts maybe...not sure. Springs/shocks may not be a good idea as the vehicle weights may be different enough to affect how it the car rides if you use a part intended (even though it might fit) for a different A6.
Changing wheel/tire set-ups may not be the same "size"...rolling dimension, etc. This depends on the year and what Audi supplied as "stock"...but they will fit. The 4.2's 255/40 tires may be VERY close to the 2.8's steering-arm and may rub on the fender-lip.
