That will be my last track day this year, so over the winter I throw some decent rotors and EBC Yellows at the car, and I'll start looking for some M030 roll bars. But I'm really happy to have a car that functions as it should on track!
JayG has had some success with the Meyle rotors which are very affordable, and I think at this point he has had some track days on them and can report how they did. Meyle makes good stuff, I have some of their suspension parts on my car and have been happy with them.

Always a bonus Reeling in the more powerful cars is always a lot of fun
