Sorry for not knowing or if this has been asked before...

Yes ... you can do a rear disk swap (rotors/calipers/pads/knuckles/brake lines/abs sensors/e-brake lines etc)... either by purchasing the required components new or from a wrecked Si / EX

SS Brake lines are not a required part for a street car... more of a nice to have. They provide a slighty improved pedal feel with a bit less mush. You will see the biggest improvement with SS lines when you are replacing old worn out lines, rather than new lines.
The Si has WAY overboosted brakes ... there is little or no feel ... So SS lines really do not do much in my eyes for this particular car
I am going to try to fix the Booster issue before I fix the lines
