I noticed a little difference between GT and GTS brakes, but I think the big advances in brakes would be replacement pads, braided lines and better brake fluid.

The GTS has better tyres out of the box, but they're still not great. I'd recommend an upgrade to Yokohama AD08s for better performance through corners. The GT Yokohama Decibels are essentially throw away items. Great for skid pan and drift days but that's it. If you haven't tracked a car before I'd recommend using them at least once. They'll really teach you about the handling characteristics of the 86.

If you don't care about sat nav, xenons, leather/alcantara and all the other paraphernalia then get the GT. Buy new tyres, brake pads, lines and change fluid and take that to the track. Go from there with other mods if you like. It seems a GTS and the extra $6k aren't what you're really after.
