Shouldn't be a problem assuming this is a road bike and you have compatible STI shifters/brake levers

How much are the Ultegra's costing?
Just bought a pair of 6700 callipers from Merlin Cycles for £71

Do you mean $'s rather then €Euros?
And is that including p&p?

I've aways been careful about buying from around the world. You can get a bargain against our prices until you add the 20% VAT which usually the carrier will collect from you (and make an admin charge)plus if the value is high enough there will be import duty. Your bargain is now not so good in fact it can cost more! Apparently some firms will mark it as a gift and a very low value which circumvents this........
