Correct, but the discs are re-drilled from 5 stud to 4 stud.
They sell new discs for £95 a pair, but you can use the Fiat ones, which will be cheaper.

They advertise them in Total Vauxhall, they definitely sell them.
Like I say though, the Fiat Coupe 16v 288mm discs are cheaper.

So the fiat ones are cheaper but require re-drilling, correct?

No, the fiat ones need you to sit there for a couple of seconds and file the holes a tiny bit, the Vectra ones need re-drilling.

The Fiat is 4x98mm, Vauxhall is 4x100.
The holes just need a little bit of metal filing off them, then they're fine.

If you buy the LMF Kit, you get all genuine GM parts, you could price it up a lot cheaper using parts from your local auto parts place.

I have a friend in the trade (manages vauxhall breakers place and can get new parts at trade price  ) So id want him to get me some V6 calipers, V6 caliper brackets, V6 pads and either fiat coupe discs or v6 discs re-drilled, correct?

The 284mm ones will be ok, but you need to use Cavalier/Calibra Turbo calipers and pads.
If you just run a file around the hole a bit, it'll be fine.
