I would suggest that your best investment is in yourself!
Find a competent driving instructor and then get as much seat time as possible. A purely stock Boxster is incredibly capable and there isn't much point in improving the car unless your driving skills can take advantage of the car improvement. In fact, it can be a hinderance.
The best gauge of progress is to track your lap times and compare to equal cars. If you're not at the top of that list, then its not the car that is holding you back.
I did around 25 track days before I improved my original Boxster beyond better brake pads and performance tires. You'll know when you are better than the car and when the car is what is holding back your performance. THEN upgrade the car.
I still follow this lesson to this day. Even after three seasons of racing Spec Boxster, I am not at the top of the leader board so I will continue to focus all of my efforts on improving my driving skills first and foremost.
