Default Brake upgrade help needed

Hey everyone,

there are so many different posts and opinios online that i honestly dont know what to decide.

I have EG4 with 282 front and 242 rear discs, and need to upgrade my MC and prop valve. They are currently oem from eg4, so MC is 13/16" and prop valve is 3040 since car used to have drums.

From someones actual experience, would upgrading to 15/16" MC and 4040 non ABS prop valve be enough if the car will be k swapped and used for weekend fun drives and occasional track day?

Also, this parts are hard to find in my country, has anyone tried aftermarket ones? Or should I just stick to ebay for used oem parts?

Thanks in advance for your answers and help.

I am running the "poor man's BBK" setup in my Del Sol.
For the brake MC, I am using the Centric part # 130.40016 along with Techna-Fit clutch line HNC-005. On all 4 corners, I am running Techna-Fit braided SS lines. Seems to hold up fine on my turbo D16 setup.
