If this is going to be your first time on the track do not worry about your suspension, it is very capable of doing what is needed. Your experience will be what is holding the car back and not the suspension. Most importantly don't even think about what your friend is doing, you're going to have more than enough to think about on the track then what they are doing, just focus on you. If you want to improve your car and spend a few hundred dollars get a few of these books, Autocross to Win (DGs Autocross Secrets) - Further Reading. They will benefit you more at this point then any suspension mods.

I have done a few track days and suspension is the very last mods on my list. and even now I don't think it's needed except for the front sway bar. I feel my money would be better spent on more track days and replacing wear and tear items from said track days then any more upgrades.

But if you really want to spend some money to make you go fast getting some race seats that are comfortable with a safe harness bar and 6 point harness and Hans will make you much faster because you won't be sliding around so much or holding on the wheel for dear life. And it will cost about the same in the end as a good complete suspension setup.
