2nd. H-Sports, then get more aggressive pads for the HP2s. You'll be fine.
I would also suggest running the stock program, if possible. Try Carbotech XP12s for the pads. You'll have a blast out there.

I am thinking the Stoptech Stage 2 kit might be worth it.
With F & R rotors, pads and fluid for $700. You use the stock calipers, but I have the 4 pad S4 versions on my car from the factory, so that seems like a good compromise.

Having done several....
The first question I'll ask is what's your level of experience at DE events? My experience with the allroad ont he track is based on being an instructor and pushing it to keep up with S4's and others. The car is surprisingly adept on the track.
The imperatives:
Motul 600 or other hi temp brake fluid
Good pads (I've destroyed even Hawk HP+ pads out there).
With your APR software, good fuel. In 93 octane mode, I ran 250+ oil temp even with 15W40 Syntec. And I was blending 93 pump with 100 octane at the track.
The nice-to-haves:
H-Sport bars.
402 mod. I'd drop my 20mm front/18 rear for track.
Belts, I installed Schroth harnesses.
Sticky track tires. I ran 18" max performance street and they were just OK. Then ran a set of Toyo RA1 track tires and the difference both in handling and braking was significant.
But the car will shock and amaze people. Lots of body roll but predictable and fun.

Thanks Ed. I have some experience at DE and autox.
In fact, I will be at Autobahn in April and was hoping to meet you there. Last time at Autobahn I was in my TT and was running with run group 3 out of 6. If you are instructing, I would really like to have you spend some time with me if we can get teamed up. It would be nice to have someone with some AR experience as an instructor.

Tried that and it pushed too much powering out of a corner...
Agree, looks are secondary, but it didn't feel as good from apex out when accelerating out. Maybe too much weight transfer with APR boost.
