Type S have brembo front brakes, if you don't have a 6 speed TL, they wont' fit.

Please make sure to have all the information about your car so people can provide valuable feedback without guessing

Rephrasing what others have said; unless you have a Type-S or a 6-Speed Manual transmission, NO, the front brakes are not the same.

it would also benefit you; if you knew what kind of equipment is on your car.
a 2008 base TL has standard 2-piston brake caliper.
a six speed TL or a Type-S has a 4-piston brake caliper.

know your equipment.
