Track/Daily Driver help
Indeed, Once you start using your brakes, you'll go through your stock rear brake pads in 3 track days.
Get the exhaust and intake if you want. OEM AP1 Flywheel is great. Stay away from Cams, and save up for a set of coilovers. In the meantime, work on the driver.

+1 on spending money on the nut behind the wheel
The car is amazing in stock form, all you really need is pads + fluid. If you really want more noise gut your intake box and get a drop in filter of some sort with a snorkel. Honestly the 1k+ you spend on exhaust mods can be better spent elsewhere - plus you would have just as much behind the wheel of a stock S then a slightly modded one

I just did my second track day with my stock ap2. Just pads/fluid upgraded. It's a good idea to get a baseline idea of the performance of the car while working on your abilities. This will make you appreciate the upgrades more when you do them once you're pushing the car rather than yourself.
If this is the first time you're tracking like you said in your other thread, you should definitely stay stock. The stock flywheel is fine. Its going to be a while before your abilities as a driver will exceed the limits of the car. For my first 3 events, I never pushed my car past 90% of its limits. The ONE time I did, I spun out...lesson learned.
None of the parts you mentioned really help in terms of getting you a faster lap. Spend the money on more track events and learn how to drive the car. Once you think your skills as a driver have surpassed that of what the car can handle. Then think about what you want to "upgrade" to suite your driving taste.
Also, check out the racing and comp section. People hardly run after market flywheels and cams. The intake and exhaust ONLY gives you more noise, not HP.
