If you’re going to track it. I’d get the STI just for the better brakes alone.
If you enjoy driving, you should go for brembo brakes.
Brembo brakes should be your first purchase. Next you need a set of Koni dampers and lowering springs with an adjustable panhard bar. Then it will look much better and put all of its power down and stop on a dime
My 986S with fairly worn out pads/rotors squealed really bad. Finally put new Brembo pads/rotors on and it’s been silent as a church mouse ever since.
Stock Brembo sti colour.
On the GD’s I’m partial to the classic red but other than that my preference is my black GR brakes. Understated and don’t clash with anything.
Most you can do is Brembo X-tra pads or equivalent.
Brembo user here, mabrake dust din ang Brembo and iingay din kung di ka madalas maglinis ng brakes. Kung gusto mo tahimik talaga go back to OEM or try Akebono. Haven't used Akebono dahil mas mahal siya.
Street driving on the 3.12 killed my AP rotors, so I got a set of DS2500 to swap between track and street. I used the 2500s on track and they wear out fast with the heat, but you can definitely occasionally track on them.
I and most would recommend against getting the stock Brembo pads. They are far too soft and when they heat up, excess material sticks to the rotor causing the shaking under braking eventually.
