Brakes are a whole topic. PP Brembos will work a lot better if you also swap the brake cylinder too, and may degrade braking if you dont (according to Vorshlag.). You need good fluid and pads too tho. Theree isnt one street pad that holds up well to track use that isnt also squeaky and dusty on the street. Since you’ll burn through more than one set of pads eventually anyway, might as well start with two sets of dedicated pads for street and track. Just make sure they’re compatable with each other (both from the same manufacturer like GLOC is a good way to go there).
Shocks are absolutely critical for the fast transitions of autox, less critical for track days (IMHO). If you’re doing shocks anyway, its a slippery slope.
My car does triple duty (autox, track, and daily commuting), and I’ve got:
Camber plates, Shocks, springs, swaybars, swaybar endlinks in the front, rear shock mounts, Steeda geometry correcting front control arms, bumpsteer kit, rear lower control arm bearing, rear toe bearing, Brembos and 3.73 torsen from the factory, extended front studs and 25mm slip on spacers, dedicated 19x10” street wheels and 19x11” track/autox wheels, GLoc GS1 street pads, and Gloc R12/R10 track pads, brake cooling ducts, agressive alignment settings, 4-point harnesses for autox, and recaros swapped in place of the stock seats.
Its a lot of crap to mod, and the car was plenty fun and quick with only about half of the above. aside from the springs I chose being s little bit much for daily use with the shocks I already have, the car is very very streetable.
The most critical mods are your brakes and tires. Next are an alignment with plenty of front camber (via camber plates or other creative mods) to keep your tires alive, then good shocks, then everything else...
