Upgrading brakes

Upgrading brakes
Just in case you haven't seen any of my other posts, I am redoing my husbands car while he is away with the Army. (So I'm really sorry about asking stupid questions - It's not my car and I know nothing about it really)
He has a 1992 Honda Civic hatchback.
We are doing a B18C motor swap in it. I guess because of the added horsepower, I was told that it might be a smart move to upgrade his brakes. What exactly do I need to replace?
I found these:
BRAKES
and these:
STEEL BRAKE LINES
Is this all I need to upgrade his brakes? Also, are these correct for his car?
Thanks!

IMO drilled and slotted rotors is a bit overrated only for the bling factor. i dont know if those rotors would be good or not, never heard of them. I've personally worked with brembo blanks and powerslot slotted rotors and i liked them, maybe not so much on the powerslot slotted rotors. btw. you might as well replace the brake pads also, with maybe some ceramic brake pads

OP, do you know what sub-model the car is? If it's an SI, it might already have rear disc brakes.
As far as new rotors, I'd suggest brembo blanks and Hawk HPS pads. For the brake lines, stainless isn't a bad idea; it'll give a little better brake feel over the stock rubber lines. But as far as cross-drilled and/or slotted rotors, they won't really make much of a difference on a street car.
