looking for fair priced brakes for disc in the front like big brakes or ebc something like that, since the oem onces are rusted and need to be replaced.. Just want a little more stopping power. The rear i want to know what is needed to do a rear bdisc conversion since i have open rims and it just looks nasty old rust drum brakes.

rear disk brakes have been beaten to death. there are multiple DIY/"How To"s on disk brakes for the EF hatch.

For the front brakes, there are OEM options. You can upgrade the stock DX knuckle to 10.3" rotors or full 11" rotors if you want. The Easiest Brake Upgrade. Shaved t23/t25 caliper bracket and 17cl13vn calipers, 88-95 sedan EX rotors.

Cant help you there as I have stuck with OEM rotors and pads always. I would suggest just getting blank rotors but its arguable. High temp brake pads that wont glaze is something youll want.

I would get whatever clutch (im guessing you are talking about clutch) cylinders from whatever car the s4c is off of. If you are worried about lines fitting this might be a good time to get a soft tuckable clutch line, rywire has some good (expensive) stuff...

Thanks for the break advice. Just picked up a TD04 off a subaru forester from my buddy for $85. Any advice on boosting regarding the set up and what i would need custom made. Will probably be running between 8-12psi and pictures are coming just got the engine out of my car.
