Would help to know what you mean by "track", Autocross?, DE?, Club racing?

I am surprised that AX has given you power steering issues. I wouldn't expect any issues after 2 minutes. Certainly mine has proven capable of running 90 minutes on the track without any issues. Having said that, I have heard of some racers having issues so maybe some other AXers can chime in.

For me, the biggest concern tracking a 986 will always be oil starvation. You definitely want to look into some sort of deep sump and, if DEing or Racing, an Accusump.

Definitely will want GT3 arms and better spring/shocks. Brakes will be fine just as they are provided you have good pads (I've always run Pagid orange) and fresh fluid. Tires will be critical but will depend of your intended use. Biggest tip would be (and it doesn't matter which type) would be loose all the weight you can.

Have fun.
