I am having trouble sculpting perfect rings/loops on my character's body armor. Is there anyway to do this easier and more evenly in projection master? Maybe even a plugin or a script perhaps?

Anyways, here is the reference image of what i am trying to achieve in zbrush.

And here's the lousy detail i have got so far. I am still struggling to create perfectly even loops. I wonder if there is a vector like in photoshop where you draw a vector in a form of a path as to where the ring or loop will go and then you just stroke it with a brush and then the detail automatically is done for you perfectly.

Using the Deco Brush in Projection Master would probably solve your problem. You could probably even draw several at once with the right texture/alpha. I think there's a zscript tutorial on using the Deco Brush in the ZBrush Help.
