Default Are D2 S8 rear calipers the same as 4.2 AR?

I was looking through the threads on S8 rear brake upgrades and they only talk about S8 carriers and S4 calipers. I can get as set of D2 S8 rear calipers with carriers included. Will these just bolt up with S8 rotors? Is there any issue with brake line compatibility?

Or do I just need to source some AR4.2 calipers and track down carriers? Thanks

Rear brakes are worn and I would like to start upgrading the brakes on my 2005 2.7tt.

The S8 has a bigger pad then the 4.2.

Default Would the S8 calipers and rotors bolt up though?

I am just wondering if the S8 caliper and rotor would bolt up without any clearance issues.
