if you are using std size cossie fronts, then go for non-cossie mainstrem/XR rears, they are a bit smaller (and cheaper 
) and the brake balance is better. You will need suitable caliper brackets to suit the smaller discs though.

ALL other Sierra/Sapphire rear discs are solid 253mm diameter, that includes 2.0i Sierra, GLS Sapphire, XR4i/XR4x4 models as some examples. ALL solid-disc variant calipers are the same, including Granada. (careful with Granada discs, many are 5-stud so no use to you)

I have 253mm non vented discs off a bog standard Sierra, with my set-up thats more than enough braking for the back end, and even then with the bias valve the pressure to them is reduced.
I just need them to work, not to look bling or big and fancy etc.
Oh and the brackets came from richm

Brackets from Richm are top quality
Have a set here that I never did get round to fitting as I bought another car but might throw them onto the S2 thats sitting in my garage

People are starting to rate the new Carbon Redstuff on other perf. car forums - apparently EBC has taken control of all production these days, and quality has improved.
I'd recommend National discs - really good quality for the price!
