As a novice, actually, you're likely to underuse the brakes. Experienced drivers will be braking harder, later, and if they're carrying more speed, longer, than a novice.
If this is a dual-use street/track car, I would look at upgrading wheels and tires first, brake pads to a semi-track compound, and then moving on from there.
245s F/R on a 17x9" wheel around ET 32-40 are a popular choice, but as you get faster you'll need to look at adding camber beyond what the factory adjustments can support to avoid prematurely wearing out the outside of the tires.
The only realistic "easy" bolt-on thing you can do for low/mid-range grunt is get an equal-length, catless header and tune. Other than that, you're looking at superchargers.
