Have you tracked anything but this car before? Your experience honestly helps dictate your upgrade path. Having incredible brakes, suspension, tires, aero, will hinder your progression as a driver somewhat if you don't have a great skill base to build from.
Feeling your brakes get spongy will help you understand when/where you're overcooking your braking
Having great aero and tires may diminish your pedal control
Having suspension that keeps you flat will prevent you from learning why and how body roll is helpful and how much you might want per track you're at, as well as keeping you from understanding safely how to drive on the edge without it being all or nothing.

Only my 3rd track day in a cage. 1st was in bolt on NA FR-s in 2015. The other two were this year. BUt track motorcycles a little more often.
Here's a video of the last lap (also my fastest of the day) last session from OCt 3rd .
Catch can is setup VTA
The side that goes normally to the intake tube from the block is also setup VTA through a small filter.
Suspension :
Current: Tein Flex A with EDFC Pro, Racerx front end links, SPL rear LCA, SPC toearms, hotchkis strut tower and front sway bars.
Planned: Lower height some more. New alignment. SPL bump steer kit. Maybe (long shot) MCA traction mod.
Tires & wheels:
Current:720Form GTF1 17x9 +35 with Conti ECS 245/40/17s
Planned: Weds TC105X 17x9 +35 with Maxxis VR1 next season.
Brakes:
Current:Club Racer front and rear, stock rotors. PMU 335 fluid.
Planned: High carbon centric blanks and C2 pads from CSG (for next season). Castrol SRF fluid.
Cooling:
Current: Dual core Laminova plumbed into coolant lines for oil cooling and Verus vents.With koyo Rad
Planned: jackson racing OIl cooler (air cooled) with Trackspec vents. (new hood)
Aero: Don't plan on installing any.

4. Better pads is plenty until you KNOW you need more brake.
5. No need to upgrade unless you feel some shortcoming or have an immediate issue
6. It depends on how you shift. If you don't shock the drivetrain, not a big deal.
7. regular maintenace according to your use

Thanks MIke!
