If you still have the DX brakes, you already have the smallest set up. The only lighter might be insight drums for the rear. Also there is not much (if any) benefit to bigger brakes, especially with normal or narrower tires.
If you have the B16 engine, try the Integra LS transmission. That is what I have and I am averaging 33ish MPG. with VERY short trips.
Avoid aftermarket intakes, they all sacrifice economy for high RPM power. Stock or even warm air intakes help.
