Brakes
Brakes are very important, obviously.
Standard brakes may become less effective after hard track driving, so you may want to upgrade them as your driving skills improve.
Pads
Simple upgrades like changing the brake pads for better quality pads can have a significant improvement on braking effectiveness after continual use over standard pads.
Discs
Upgrading brake discs or rotors as they're sometimes called, is a relatively straightforward modification also, but involves a little bit of dissassembly and spending a bit more money.
Discs with slotted, grooved or cross drilled faces improve braking dramatically under track conditions compared to standard units. Remember to check for clearances with your wheels, as bigger discs might mean you need bigger wheels.
Calipers
Caliper upgrades are straightforward also, but by upgrading the calipers you'll need new pads and the amount of money you're spending can quickly exceed the $1000 mark.
Bigger calipers means better braking because a greater amount of brake pad surface is engaging the disc. Remember to check for clearances with your wheels, as bigger calipers may foul on standard or higher offset wheels.
As with everything, decide on what's right for you by determining how much track time you and your car will be seeing, and how much money you want to spend.
Whatever the upgrade, always ensure that's it's both safe and legal, and always seek expert mechanical advice if you're unsure.
