288s(V6) might not fit behind your wheels.

this is how much room you have behind most 15`s with v6 brakes on

Tight. 288s will go behind Vaux 15"s though.

ATE powerdiscs & GM (ATE) pads or fast road/track day pads. I picked up some Ferodo 3466 pads for about ?15 to fit my 256x20mm calipers.

i warped two sets of 256's on my SR (one set was drilled + grooved)

If i still had my nova id get some 288's for good measure

Personally I think genuine GM discs are spot on though I hate the genuine pads. They work great from cold but fade terribly & are SO messy its unreal.
Green stuff are fine for fast road but for something a bit more serious I'd consider Mintex or Ferodo DS3000(pricey)!
