What's good for a Brakes upgrade?

No problems switching to DOT5.1. Just don't make the mistake of using DOT5! DOT5 is a different type of fluid while DOT5.1 is the best (street)version of the regular stuff.

Calipers shouldn't need an upgrade. Just refresh your brakes for the street and switch to the T3 Wilwood or RX7 setup if you go racing and manage to boil the stock stuff. Until then you're more then fine with what the 86 came with from the factory. Maybe source some mintex fast-road pads for a little bit of an upgrade without severe loss of daily driver capability.
