do you have rear disc brakes? i would start with that first if you haven't done it already.

Rear disc brakes don't decrease stopping distance, they resist fade.
If you want better stopping power, get a GSR master cylinder and some good brake pads. It'll be a massive difference over your stock setup.

slotted rotors won't make that much of a difference. like archidictus mention, upgrading the M/C and booster would be great.

Get 99-00 Si front brakes, they are bigger than your currect set up, top it off with an Si MC.

Nah he doesn't need the prop valve, the DX and Si share the same prop valve.

40/40
x2, bigger MC and some good pads. No need for ridiculous brakes. Many people don't know what good (thick) rotors and good pads/fluid will do for them.
