better brakes,
if i am going to uprate my brakes wats my best bet i know cossie fronts, (will they fit under 15inch wheels). and [ERRR] about the master cyclinder? and [ERRR] about the back breaks? [ERRR] disc setup could i use if i wanted to go discs alround ? and would going discs alround be worth my while!?

Mondeo - 280mm fronts, rear discs (not sure if the rears fit but I reckon they will).
Otherwise the tried and tested RS2k 4x4 rears will be well up to the job.

chumkila :Affirmative Cossie front will fit under 15" wheels.
Eeep, not always.
Depends on the internal design of the rim.
Don't forget the common route is to fit 4x4 discs which are significantly offset away from the centreline of the car and come much closer to the wheel.
The caliper may hit the inside of the side of the wheel.
You need to try fiddling around with that setup but that said, until someone bothers to make up a proper steel spacer plate for the cossie calipers, I won't be recommending people fit them.

When i fitted mine up front, i had made an 8mm spacer out of stainless steel, 5mm was no good, so it was 8mm on mine, didn't fancy just using washers for the job.

Unless your Si is highly modified a decent set of disks, pads and caliper pistons upfront (i'm using Ferodo premier disks and DS2000 pads)
new shoes, drums, cylinders and bearings where needed on the rear should be more than enough stopping power
