a. only thing that will reduce braking distance is grip of tires. Want stop sooner, grippier tires. Caveat being loosing playfulness you mentioned in 2nd part of (d.) though. BBKs will increase for how long it takes to overheat prior fading, better pads will increase amount of brake torque per brake pedal travel, but braking distance is reduced only with more tire grip (for cases where current brake system is capable of locking tires till engagement of ABS. If insufficient, then for current grip one can stop quicker also with pads of higher friction coefficient).
c. you are driving MY2014? Imho shocks from MY2017 should increase comfort/compliancy. Or Bilstein B6. Or Koni Yellows on full soft. With tire that flexes more (chosen model or chosen size) you'll get more comfort/compliant ride, but paying with turn-in sharpness.
d. sounds job for alignment. Slight toe-in in rear should increase stability accelerating out of turns. It sure did for me (vs stock 0 toe, but actually a bit uneven even toe-out i had). Also work on own pedalwork, for when you should start gradually increase accel and at what speed increase (the lesser steering angle, the more on gas), doing it gently/smooth will also reduce chance of slipping.
e. also imho alignment. More front camber?
