Looks right for the Lucas caliper. IIRC, earlier 2.0s had a different setup but this isn't obvious from the Mintex application guide (I was looking at it yesterday).

Well ive bought a set of EBC Ultimax for £20. After doin abit of research they reckon there better then OEM versions and bed in almost instantly due to the compound they use. Will see what theyre like when they arrive.
