Fiat Tipo 16v ones, or Fiat Coupe 16v Turbo or 20v non turbo ones, they're 284mm.
You can also use VW Golf/Corrado G60 ones, which are 280mm.
As for pads, you need ones for either a Cavalier/Calibra V6 or Turbo, or a Vectra V6.

i believe the cav turbo ones wont fit as they use different callipers and 284mm discs. cally turbo ones are the same as the v6 though

Depends what calipers he's using, a lot of people say V6 when they mean Turbo.
Cavalier/Calibra V6 and Turbo pads are the same part, Vectra ones are different and won't fit in the Cav calipers (and vice versa)
You need to identify if they're Vectra, or Cavalier calipers so you know what pads to buy.
All the discs are vented.

Ring Vauxhall with the part number, then you can order pads for the right car.
If you have Vectra calipers and order Cavalier pads, you're not going to get them to fit.

If i get the fiat discs would they fit straight onto the car? also are the stud settings right?

LMF discs are a lot more money than Fiat ones.
Lots of people are using Fiat ones on here.
Just file the holes out very slightly towards the outside, job done.
