why not get something else like the rotora or wilwood. the 04 tl brakes, like many other oem brembos, pretty much only add a few tenths of an inch on rotor size (in the 6sp TL, they add .4 inch for a total of 12.2) and they are not cross drilled or slotted, which means they will hardly resist heat better than the factory brakes TLS/CLS came with.
more important than anything is not the drilling/slots though, its about mass and lighter weight. thats where the rotora and wilwood and even aftmkt brembo GT kits exceed. they offer 2 piece designs (for WW and Brembo) and all mentioned kits have much more mass to dissipitate the heat better, and with slots/drill it is even better.
as for whether they would fit, i would say they probably do, but it all depends on bracket design. i think it shouldnt be too hard, but i doubt it would be cheap either.

not to knock the performance gains from rotora or willwood, but i think the slight stopping gain plus having the nice ass calipers might be a reason enough to change
