You will not achieve a performance advantage with aftermarket braking systems unless you're running racing slicks and wide wheels. The OEM caliper and rotors are more than up to the task of stopping the car, even with DOT legal race rubber, as long as you use the correct brake pads and fluid.
Carbotech pads are good, and I use Cobalt Friction pads and ATE Super Blue / Type 200 fluid.

For autox and (I assume) novice track use (especially if on street tires) I suggest starting with something like Carbotech Panther+ (XP6) pads. Just use your OEM rotors and calipers.
Any race pad will dust a lot more than a street pad and will be very noisy. You might be able to live with it, but most people who drive on the street and occasionally go to the track end up swapping pads back and forth.
