There's nothing to dial in on the suspension and alignment if you're not driving at the limit.
You shouldn't be upgrading the brake pads because of the car, you should be upgrading the brake pads based on your skill level. Drivers who are fast and use the brakes hard will be on XP12's on stock power while you're not even using XP8's to their capacity with whatever horsepower you have.
The XP8's sound like a good fit, maybe a bit overkill but you'll hopefully grow into them. Get a baseline setup, a sport-street alignment from a reputable local shop, ask some local track day goers where they take their cars, have the dampers set to be comfortable during street driving and don't touch it while you get maximum seat time, if you're having problems have someone experienced ride with you or review video and ideally data if you have it before you go changing the car.
What us amateurs 'feel' is the problem is typically not the problem.
